Francis Joseph Brady

Connie and Brady family. I hope you are doing well this holiday season. I wanted to send you brief note of support as I have been thinking about you. It is so difficult to lose a life partner and a parent. Take comfort in the understanding that Frank was a wonderful husband, father, friend and professional. He lived a life that many aspire to live.

Frank and I were honored with life membership in the Arizona Society of CPAs (ASCPA) in the same year. I had the privilege of working with him for 20 years when I served as President & CEO of the ASCPA.

Frank lead his many responsibilities in the CPA profession and in the community with integrity and wisdom. He listened and was well-respected. He often spoke of his love for Connie and how much she supported him, in addition to his love for his family. Frank left the world a better place.

I was saddened to learn of Frank's death. Frank was an outstanding Partner at EY. Despite the many challenges which can arise in public accounting, Frank always demonstrated the highest level of professional behavior and demeanor. We sometimes referred to him as "Unflappable Frank" in the most positive sense. I started my career with EY in 1984, shortly after Frank became a partner, and I looked up to Frank as a role model. Frank was very supportive I when I was admitted to the EY partnership in 1997, and sponsored my wife, Holly, and me, in our admission to the Paradise Valley Country Club. Frank was a truly exceptional person, and he will be greatly missed. Holly and I send our condolences to Connie and the entire family.

Connie and family, my deepest condolences. I was very sad to learn of Frank's passing. What a terrific remembrance! Thank you. I am at a loss trying to remember why Frank was not our president Junior Year. I also can't remember if Connie went to Laurel or Beaumont or HB. To the Brady Bunch, please know your father, father-in-law, and grandfather made a difference in this world. I am very proud to have called Francis my friend. R.I.P.
