My gosh, when I heard of Brad's sudden passing, I cannot stop thinking about all of our childhood, growing up in Leicester. We spent so much time together, Leicester Federated Church Sunday School, Troop 126 Boy Scouts, Lion's Club Basketball, doing each other's paper routes for the T & G, making "Incredible Edibles" at the Allen's house...so, so, so, many memories of he and I and our buddies in Leicester.
Mrs. Allen, you loved your baby boy "Tig" so much. My memories at your home are everlasting and cherised! Those stay=overs at the house, those funny lunches and dinner at the kitchen table...
To all of you back in Massachusetts, I am sorry for you loss. Brad will be missed greatly?
George
