To the Fagula family,
I'm so incredibly sorry for your loss.. I was Brad's boss at Wells Fargo for years and I brought him with me from Blue Bell to downtown Philly because he was my right hand. I truly cherished every day that he came to work for me as he always made work a better place to be for everyone. His work ethic was outstanding, his ability to turn any situation into a positive was incredible, and his knack for adding humor into every situation was one of a kind. To say he will be missed is an understatement.
Sending my prayers.

There are no words of sympathy I could offer to ease your pain. Brad was an amazing young man, and I have so many memories of him playing the game he loved so much-basketball. Christina Rosetti a 19th century poet once wrote.."Better by far that you forget me and smile than remember me and be sad." I will always remember Brad and how his smile lit up the room.
