The morning after we arrived he came over introduced him self, and offered to help unload our rental truck. Our favorite memory is when Brad would come over and visit. A special moment with Brad, is when we went to his house and played games and cards. Brad would make us laugh and smile almost all the time. We will always remember our friendship with Brad.A shared experience with Brad, was when we helped him clean a trailer behind ours. Going out for breakfast. Brads home, and the sound of trucks like his. A personal experience with Brad is when he became ill and we took care of him, and he would always say "I love you guys."We learned alot of different things from Brad, depending on what the topic was. RIP our friend, you will be greatly missed. You will always be in our hearts and thoughts. We. Fly high with all the angels. Love you.
