Memories and Condolences
for Bradford Chaffin
March 4, 2010
Charon, Please accept my sincere condolences for the passing of Brad. He was a mentor while I worked with him at Koger for a good number of years. His boisterous laugh, kind words in troubled times, skill in our skeet shooting event at one of Koger's conferences, and just having the opportunity to know Brad as a kind person will be great memories forever.
Best Wishes....

Brad will be remembered and missed by his many friends,each in their own way. I will especially remember meeting Brad, with morning coffee in hand, as he walked "The Girls", and we traded life stories. Brad always had a story to tell; and, we often solved the world's problems before our coffee was cold. It was not unusual for Brad to extend his afternoon walk to visit another 4-legged friend demonstrating his affection for all. Indeed Brad will be remembered: remembered for all the right reasons.

Dear Family,
I worked with Brad at Koger and always enjoyed his great sense of humor. He was quick to laugh and always willing to take a minute to exchange greetings. He was a good guy and we were all better off for knowing him.

Dear Charon,
Brad was a loving and passionate man, for you, his family, and life and is now his turn to serve in Heaven. The Lord calls us in His time.
It is now your time to serve those who love Jesus and live your life to the fullest. Spend time taking care of you and live everyday as if it were the last. We never know when we will be called by His rapture.
Thank you for being my friend.
Love ya,
Barb

Charon, Frank and I were saddened when we heard of Brad's passing. We have been living in TN. and didn't realize Brad had been sick. I'll always remember Brad for his big grin and positive outlook. You and Brad were so welcoming to us when we came to All Souls. He is a gem of a man and will be greatly missed by all who knew him. You and your family will be in our prayers.

Brad - as I told our friends, since I heard the news, I've been hearing the whistling beginning of "Don't worry be happy" in my mind. You were quite the whistler, and so I just tell myself that it is you in my head saying "Don't worry" - "Don't worry about me... be happy". You had a knack for making folks smile, and feel good about themselves. It was a wonderful gift, and you will be terribly missed. I'm glad I knew you.
Charon, you were lucky to have a spouse and a best friend rolled into one, and Brad was lucky too. - you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Charon,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family in this time of grief. We will miss our neighbor Brad and loved our talks with him. We will miss seeing him walking the dogs in the neighborhood and sharing cheerful conversations with him in the past months when he was always so positive. His strength in an inspiration.
Love,
Ellen and Gerry Smith
