I will remember Brad as being so kind hearted and giving. All that he did for American Legion baseball will forever be remembered. My condolences to all of his family and many friends.

Words can not express the sadness that Margie and I have on your passing. We enjoyed seeing you when we were assigned to umpire together. Our last encounter was Great Bend and as usual you were outstanding and a pleasure to be with you. You will be greatly missed and I will think of you always when I walk on that field to work. Margie hoped you got a great pedicure! The American Legion has lost a great umpire and friend. Your community has lost a good community leader, father, husband and friend to many. I'll miss the quick humor also. Rest easy as you did a great job in such a short period of life. Lost a great buddy!
