Some of the most fun times in my life were spent with..."B"...Bradley...Bones...Bone bright...Big B...

Havin' a laugh...Jammin'...hangin' out...concerts at Pershing...rovin' around town...so many good times...

I spent many days of my younger years around B's house on 40th St...

With Donna...Terri...The Bootlicks...and all The Elder Warriors of The Viking Brotherhood...(You know who you are...?...)...

There were so many characters and life long friends that I meet through the Bonebright clan...I will always hold those days dear in my heart...

I like some haven't seen "B" for many years...I always thought that someday I would make it back to my old stompin' grounds and see "B"...and like always...the bond would be there...like family...

To Terri...Kent...Curtis...Rachel & La'Rae...Brads Father...and all the extended Bonebright & Anderson clans...I wish you love and peace...In celebration of someone I will miss and always remember...

For me...there will always be...that certain glint in the eye...that loving sarcasm...the sly grin...and that big laugh...

A sharpness that I was lucky enough to have known...

Like all good drummers..."B" had a great sense of time...a natural...

Whenever I hear a Bonham Triplet or Quadruplet...

Or Wishbone Ash Blowin' Free...

I'll be remembering my Viking Brother Bradley..."B"...Bonebright...

So.. .Here's to you "B"...Godspeed...

Give your Mom a hug...Tell Scotty Hi...

Someday we will meet again...

Like so many others, I grew up with Brad. As a teenager, he was a loveable rascal with a sharp wit. He was smart and free-spirited and honest. I remember that I wanted to be a part of his family because he and his siblings seemed so close and happy. It's been many many years since I saw him last, since we were in our early 20's. Clearly he has left an impression on a lot of us, and of this I am not surprised!! He was that kind of guy--unforgettable and well liked. Extending sympathies to his family and loved ones.

I work at Save Mart and Brad use to always come in with his grand-daughter. He was so proud of her and loved her so much. Brad and I use to have some very nice visits and I will certainly miss that. This came as a big shock to me and I will always have fond memories of him. I am so sorry.

To Brad's family and especially his Dad, I want to express my sincere sympathy. I enjoyed getting to know him through the work he did for me and was surprised to hear of his death. You will all be in my prayers knowing that God will be faithful to bring you comfort and hope through the promise of life through Jesus our Lord.

We both send our condolences to all of the family. We know how much Brad enjoyed his daughter, Rachel, and then his little grandaughter, LaRae. May he rest in peace knowing he has joined his mother.

Your father and I went to Lincoln High together. He is a good friend to many and am sure Brad was a great person that will be missed by his many friends.

My sincere and deepest sympathies to all of Brad's friends and loved ones. I went thru Jr. High and High School with Brad, and considered him one of my best friends in those years. Brad was always the funny smart aleck amongst us. I could tell lots and lots of stories of those good years. I know there are no words that will ease the pain you are feeling, as I recently lost my 24 yr old son. I know B will always be remembered fondly by me. With Love, Keith Vidal
