Brad,
I don't know where to begin! We had so much in common, our love of weather is what did it for me and a lot of memories in just the nearly 5 years I known you and those years were great! From the Pacers playoff game to when we nearly spun out on the By-pass, my eagle eye lol! I still don't want to believe that you have left this world, but I do want you to know that you are a great, great man and words just aren't enough to say how much I'm going to miss you! Thanks for giving me a chance to work with you and Teresa for all these years and thanks for the weather discussions and talks and I promise that we will take care of Teresa who never did like how we said goodbye to each other with our grunting! And as long as Matt keeps the league going, I'm going to keep the Flippin Fantastic Frogs going and I'm going to bring us a championship! I'm going to miss you so much and I'm not saying goodbye, but I will say see you later and finally you can meet my grandma, give her a hug for me!! l;sdjflsdkj;lk;aljfal;kf
