Our deepest, sincere condolences to Mark, Rob and family. Brad will be extremely missed by both of us. His legend will live on! He was a generous and sincere hard working man. He lived a wonderful life. We’re sure he’s at peace and with Mona B now.

The best, friendliest rigging company we have had the pleasure of working with. Rest in peace, Brad. Condolences to his family and friends. We are thinking of you.

Knowing Bob as a friend and classmate was a wonderful joy for me. His humor and fun-loving antics always made me smile. Bob’s generosity and desire to help others was personal for my family when he hired my son Daniel for a job at Light Rigging. Bob and Daniel met when they were both involved in Boy Scouts. Their friendship grew and continued many years after Daniel left Light Rigging.
Bob was a good friend for my family and he’ll remain in our hearts always. With great sadness we extend our deep condolences to the Bradway family, especially to his sons Rob and Mark. May you all be blessed with enough strength to endure this very sad and difficult time. May you also experience the sense of peace that comes with happy memories.

Capt. Brad,
Really miss you at the White House....it's just not the same without you here holding court. Loved your stories of the good old days; so glad I had the opportunity to hear you tell them! Every time I look up at a blue sky in summer or a star filled winter night, I will always think of you.
Love and Eternal Peace,
Cat and Ollie

This is heartbreaking news and I am sending hugs to all. There are not enough words to say how much he meant to me. I will always remember all favors he did for me, all our long conversations and how he could make me laugh. RIP Brad.

I’m so sorry to hear this news. He was fun loving and surely enjoyed life to the fullest. I’ll always remember the setback games at Christmas. I recall him bidding 4 on a bare 5! Somehow he knew his partners had him covered. He made the 4. He is now ever-present. Always watching over. ❤

So glad to have had the opportunity to meet and converse with Brad. He and his crew have been a joy to work with these past ten years. He has always treated us like family. I respected his philosophy of helping other people in business succeed. He is a treasure that certainly left a lasting impression on many. Rest in peace Brad.

Brad, you will be sorely missed. It was always a pleasure to call Light Rigging and talk to you when we needed something moved. I looked forward to chatting about business and other things with you. Rest in Peace my friend.

Dear Judy and family, We were devastated to hear of Bob's passing. He was such a kind gentleman. So thoughtful and a good friend! As you know, we have known Bob since school (Class of 1961). My greatest memory of him was when I (Linda) had back surgery and I spent 6 weeks in the Cobalt Rehab Center. He sent me lunches each week with you delivering them or one of his workers. He will never know how much I appreciated that. That was extremely kind, thoughtful, and in full character of how Bob lived his life...helping others. He will forever be in our hearts. I have notified our classmates and am so sad we will not be able to attend his services as we are in Florida. I am sure he will know we will be there in our hearts. May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief. Thinking of you and sending prayers, Linda & Ron

Brad you will be sorely missed by all in your "family". The nickname "Birdie" will never sound the same as it did when you called me that! My heart is broken but at the same time happy you are at peace. The world has lost a man of great presence. RIP my friend - until we meet again.
