I am seeing Brad's obit for the first time. Brad and I grew up together, we lived a few doors away from each other. We became best friends and moved together from Harrisburg to Ft. Lauderdale. We had a grea time, both became stockbrokers. Unfortunately I moved to Texas and we lost touch over the years. I was telling my son about Brad and all the crazy fun times we had and decided to look him up. I was shocked and sadden to see he died at such a young age. After reading, I was glad to see he had a great family and made such a good impact in his life. Rest in peace my Brother you and your family will now be forever in my thoughts and prayers.

I also graduated from high school with Brad. Our classmates must be feeling the same sadness as I am, but realize Brad's life has touched so many lives and has made an immeasurable impact on many. That's a gift. My sincerest sympathies are extended to his wife and his children.

The memories I have of Brad from childhood to the present will be forever in my heart. He was a talented, kind, cheerful, and high-spirited individual. He will be most remembered for his smile. His professional success eludes his goal oriented perseverence to always achieve the next step. The happiest day I ever saw him was when he married Susan. May his soul rest in peace. To Susan and the boys, our thoughts and prayers are with you now and forever. Brad will be missed by many but never too far away in spirit.

I too attended high school with Brad, and he was a great person. He always had a smile. He represented what all of us who grew up in Harrisburg and went to Susquehanna High; a shining beacon of light.

God bless you Brad, and keep you and your family.

Peace be to you.

I also had the good fortune to grow up with Brad in Harrisburg, Pa. Even back then, he exuded a real charisma, as well as simply being a good and kind soul. Those of us who spent our years in high school together will always remember him. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

First of all “What a great Picture” to many times people say we are celebrating life but its seems to get lost with the Obituary; Showing us what we all lost and sad reminder of what we never have again. I give who ever placed the Pirate photo in Brad’s obituary a standing ovation! The only tears shed when reading Brad’s Obituary should be tears of laughter!!!!! Now that is what I call celebrating his life!
