I went to the shop today and missed chit chatting about air force life with you. I always enjoyed your flight stories, not to mention the excellent service you did running the shop. Your mother is such a sweetheart. Godspeed.

I sure miss you Bradley. I think you were the ONLY person I could never stay mad at. I am a pouter, but not with you. You would not let things escalate and would break the ice whenever tension was in the air. I always hate when someone gets sick or worse, and people elevate them above what they really thought. I don't have to do that with you either. What I saw was basically what I got with you Bradley. I never had to wonder what you were thinking because you always were true to yourself and me. I will miss going to the shop and seeing that "cheesy" grin, and you sitting there "playing the Donald" You were a good good friend, and brother in law. We had a special relationship like no other I've ever had. Now when I hear a plane in the air, I look up and think of you and how happy you were when you got ur captains license. I just wished you got buddy passes from ur job then it would have been cool to see the pyramids one day. I remember talking about that, how you have see them and how desperately I wanted to see them. I love you and miss you and will keep your memory close to my heart. Love Wendy

I pray for Bless during the moments of bereavement from Brad's untimely death. My friend has left us too soon. May the period of adjustment in the coming days be one of reflection on the good times together. Over the past 35 years of knowing Brad, we have had good times together through our aviation careers trekking the lofty skies to "touch the face of God".
