Kerry, Keith and all the Bradley Family, We are extremely sorry to hear of Mike's untimely death. We loved Mike very much and will miss him greatly on the pulling circuit. We met pulling minis and our friendship continued even after we moved to the truck and started pulling at Bowling Green. I will cherish my lunch that I had with Mike this last pulling season when he was announcing at Richwood for OSTPA and I was there to video. You are all in our prayers.
