Dearest Shea family,
Our hearts are broken over Brad's sudden and premature passing. As neighbors for over 40 years, we were more than neighbors, as our children grow up together and we were there for each other for life's ups and downs. Losing Brad is like losing family. Times like this remind us how connected we all are, in some way, in either the past, present and/or future. He will be remembered as an extraordinary and brilliant human being, with an ever ending list of interests and hobbies, very much like his dad. Brad was loved and will be truly missed by all who knew him. We send our sincere condolences and sympathies, and our thoughts and prayers are with you all. May Brad rest in internal peace and tranquility.
Sincerely,
The Martin family

I had the pleasure of working for Brad as his Assistant Mgr at the Paramus SR Store for 7 years. I was a beer man, however, Brad took me under his gentle wing and together we both accomplished the esteemed Sommilier Wine Expert Level.Im having a toast of Pinot Noir right now my friend. I am going to miss you "big guy", for I do not have any intelligent people to have a
"wine talk" with anymore. Peace.

Shea Family, I was so saddened to hear the news of Brad’s passing. I fondly recall the many enjoyable hours we all spent together in our younger youth - but listening and talking about music and stereos with Brad was always special - he had a truly great “ear.” Crazy, I still have the Allison 4s he expertly helped me choose all those years ago. He was wonderfully patient, listening and testing speakers that could handle both Mozart and Led Zeppelin. I know that your loving memories of Brad will fill the emptiness you feel in your hearts. Please accept my sincere condolences.

To the Shea Family,
I just learned of Brad's passing and I am so sorry. I will always remember your house as the one where everyone gathered. I not only had a wonderful friend in Betty, but the rest of you as well. I am very saddened by this news.

Brad family,
Sorry I got the news too late to show my condolences to your family in person. Brad I was about 16 when I met you in the old Paramus Shoprite. Everyday I would get my 2 cans of diet pepsi and a pack of merit ultra lights. You always had rung me up and ready when you saw me coming in. I remembered how pleasant and mellow you always were, from my perspective you never seemed rattled by anything. I admired your sense of calmness and peace. I was a fellow spinal tap fan, I think we were the only 2. I'll never forget the reunion concert at the Beacon theater. Ubelievable still. Thanks for the memories and the inspiration over the last 25 years. I'll miss you greatly. Also thanks for the recommendation of the vonmuller ressling wine, I love it. Also thanks for all the memrobilla you got for mme.
Your friend & former Shoprite
co-worker,

Today I learned of Brad's passing. I was deeply saddened. I called on Brad at Shoprite and he was among my favorite accounts. He was simply put-a wonderful man. I will really miss him and his movie reviews. I send my wishes to his family.-Mark Mitchell

To Brad's Family: I am shocked and saddened to hear of Brad's passing. He was such a gentle, kind soul and although it's been many years since I've seen him, I have nothing but pleasant memories of him (he was my ex's "Wednesday music/film buddy" and it was always nice to see him at our home each Wednesday when I came in from work). My sincere condolences to you all. And to you, Brad, may you rest peacefully in the arms of the angels, old friend.

I have lost contact with so many of my relatives; I have moved many times and have been so far away that I did not maintain contact. I have good memories of my cousin Brad; I remember him as an intelligent, nice older boy who was fun to be around. I remember havings lots of fun playing with Brad and Jimmy when I visited their house - those were good times. We pray that Aunt Joan and the rest of the family can find comfort in knowing the good life that he lived.

I have had the pleasure of knowing Brad for over 30 years in a business relationship that developed into a geniune respect and admiration for him on my part. A kinder more gentle person I have never known. He taught me alot about music and cinema. I will
never walk into Shop Rite without fond memories of Brad. Rest in peace "GUY"
