Sandy, I´m so sorry to see about Brad, I enjoyed working with Brad at HQ, Brad always had a smile on his face and a great story about his family or his dog. You will be in my prayers.

What a contribution Brad made in his life - in both his service as a firefighter and with
his family. He will be greatly missed.

Brad and I began on the Fire Dept. a couple weeks apart. Through our careers we worked many years together. Brad was an excellent engineer, I seem to recall he favored Engine 3. He was very well liked and respected by his peers. My wife and I both are sorry for the family's loss. I'm glad for the 20 years of retirement he was able to spend with his family.
