Brad´s Uncle Hoy Graves along with Wayne and Dale worked together for years constructing quality projects. Hoy always enjoyed working with Brad and the guys. Brad was "Birdie " to many. We always appreciated Brad´s concern for Hoy.

Oh so sorry to hear this, Brad took me to my first Kiss concert. He and his Dad and uncle bricked my home. We were step brothers but more like blood brothers when we were younger.

Brad was my cousin. We enjoyed many days at Grandma´s house. He knows me as Judy. The first picture is of my mom, his Aunt Gladys and brother Eric; Cousins Andy and Georgeanne; and my sister´ s (Phyllis) kids Steve & Sandy with their dad Francis taken in May 1968 (Brad is first on the left); the second is at Christmas a couple of years later with his aunts, Maxine and Edie. Love you, Brad!
