The first time I met Bradley was when I was best friends with sister,Scotty. He was a lot younger and tagged after us. The Painters moved to Pa. and we lost contact for a while. The next time I saw Bradley was years later and I was walking down the street in Mt. Jackson. This broad, tall handsome man was walking towards me. I don´t remember who else was with me and they asked me if I knew him. I didn´t think I did but was so shocked when I was told it was Bradley! Of course I spoke and he knew me by name! Remembering That meeting make me joyfully smile and I see the Painter family periodically and we seem to laugh about the silly things we said and did. Always bring up Bradley following us around. Sadly our meetings involve death more often that not. Bradley was a joy and a pleasure. He seemed to have a lil embarrassed grin when I bring up our childhood antics. I have had love for this family for years! And I am so dreadfully sorry for his entire family, from oldest brother Dennis down the tree to the youngest grand baby. Scotty, make sure to get to me when you can! I love you all!! RIP BRADLEY

No words can describe how lost we all are without you. You have always been a devoted father to your children and love your Grandchildren beyond words. Such a big man with not a single mean bone in your body. You cared for all and never hesitated to help someone whenever you could. This world will not be the same without you and I am sure eternal life accepted you with open arms. Rest easy my dear friend. My evenings on the porch will never be the same without you. But we will keep on smiling, as you would not want us to stop living our best life. Love Always my dear Bradley.

My thoughts and prayers go to his family and his many friends. I only met him about six months ago, but he was a really nice guy. He normally had a smile on his face and a presence that was felt anywhere he was. May he R.I.P.
