To Sheldon, Jeri and Tracy,
My deepest condolences to you and the rest of your family. My thoughts and prayers are with you always.

Each day I remember something new about Bradley. I recently found the KISS tape he made me when I was in college and the one he bought me trying to convert me from Country Music. I converted only when I was with him.

He was the love of my life, one of my best friends and I will miss his late night calls, misdialing my number all the time, his love, his spirit, his laugh.....

To BK - I miss everything about you! And, won't ever forget what I can't put into words! Till we meet again - I love you Forever! - Blue

Condolences to the Katzer family. Brad will be remembered by many as a caring, loving, giving and genuine person. Watching UCLA Bruin games will never be the same but I will always remember Brad when watching them...their #1 fan. Memories last forever.

To the Katzer Family:



I am so sorry to hear about Brad's passing. My positive thoughts and prayers are with you all during this challenging time. You probably do not remember me but I met Brad through our mutual friendships with Brad Gross and Larry Block. From time to time we would hang out (in "the hood" of course) and shared many good times together throughout high school. More recently I was fortunate enough to have Brad be the DJ at my wedding back in 1993. I still have fond memories of him making an impromptu toast to Michele and I that night. He had such an open heart and a kind soul. My best to you all during this hard time.

Dear Katzer Family,

I was very shocked and saddened to hear the news of Brad's passing. I have only good memories of growing up together on Corinth Ave. and all of the rides to Temple Akiba. I wish you all only the best in this difficult time.
