Bradley was my first cousin. His mother, Lois, and my mother, Jean LaBarr, were sisters. Living in Seattle, WA, we did not see each other much. I am very saddened to hear of his passing. Nancy and Scott, I pray all your wonderful memories will help comfort you.

When we moved to Hanover 13 years ago, we could not have dreamed of having a next door neighbor like Brad. Over the years, he and Nancy became family. I will forever treasure the surprise holiday gifts left for the kids on the steps, the dinners we shared and the backyard chats that started with "hey neighbor". Brad, you were a true gift to all of us and we will never forget you.

I've been a colleague of Nancy for many decades, and always enjoyed my interactions with Brad. He was a gem of a human being and will be missed terribly by all who knew him. My condolences to Nancy, Scott, and the rest of Brad's family.
