"Lori, Sue and I was to express with sincere condolences with the passing of Brad. He was such an awesome man, person, friend and I know to you, a very special type of husband. You two made a complete match, you fit together like a glove and were absolutely perfect for each other. He will be greatly missed and will leave a hole in peoples hearts but that hole will be filled from the love that they have for Brad but also for the love Brad had for them. In times like this you will hold each other up with the love each of you have for Brad. May Gods light from above give you peace. Love and blessing to you, your family and to Brads."

"Brad was my high school student, an outstanding member of the band and orchestra. I always admired his excellent musicianship, his sense of humor, and his lively, positive spirit. It was a great privilege to meet him again as an adult to see the wonderful person he still was. My wife and I continue to remember him often with love and great appreciation for his many talents."

"Lori: The first time I met Brad was when I was moving into a new home after the loss of my husband. Everyone I had lined up to help me move bailed out on me. Lori and Brad came to my rescue. That's Brad, willing to lend a hand or an ear whenever you were in need. A good man is not only a treasure, he is also a good husband and friend that lasts an eternity . I will miss you my dear friend."

I can't imagine the loss you must be feeling but I hope you take comfort in knowing that you were a tremendous partner and support to Brad, not only through your life together, but especially during his illness, caring for him in a genuine, loving and tireless way.

Hugs and love, Marsha"

"Uncle Brad, with your unique sense of humor, amazing ability to play the piano, and wise financial advice it was always a pleasure when you and Aunt Lori came to visit. We would always get together for a family diner when you visited. At some point you would sit down and serenade us on the piano marking the high point of the evening. Later, your passion for investing would become evident when you would slip in a few suggestions and hints on the topic. You led an interesting and meaningful life and we are sad to see you go so soon. However, You will be ever present on our minds and in our hearts. Love Jesse and Laura"

"Dear Lori and Kathy, i was so sad to hear the news about Brad. How he will be missed! i remember Brad as a little boy and what fun we had playing together when he and Kathy and Tom and Aunt Nicki and Uncle Wade visited us in Fairfield, Ohio so many years ago now. (Truth to tell, i had a crush on my cousin Brad when i was a little girl.) The memories of our families' visits together are still vivid, and i am grateful for each moment we got to spend with one another. Brad was a devoted son and brother and husband - and cousin. i will miss his kind eyes and sweet smile. My heart goes out to you two. Please know that you two are in my thoughts and prayers. i am sending you both my love, jen"

"We are broken hearted by the loss of our brother-in-law. We cannot believe you are no longer with us. You went to Heaven too soon. God has taken you home. When we lose a loved one here on earth, we gain an Angel in Heaven. I know Brad is watching down from Heaven. Brad you are loved and will be truly missed. May you Rest in Peace. Until we meet again. xoxo Karen and Dave"

"Dear Aunt Lori Uncle Brad was always so much fun to be around. Whether that was playing the piano or talking about his many life experiences. I enjoyed showing him the "Canadian lifestyle" filled with lots of ice skating and driving ATV's. Uncle Brad will be missed. Love Benson and Kelly"

"I will always remember Brad as a smart, outgoing, gracious friend and gentleman. During the years Brad worked for me at Technics, I came to appreciate his sense of humor and the kind way he dealt with his co-workers and dealers. Brad was one of a kind and we who knew him and worked with him feel the loss of his friendship. Lori, I am praying for God's grace and peace for you and Brad's family in his passing. Please know there are a lot of Technics family members who are doing the same. Love from the Technics family. I Thessalonians 4;13-18 "13 Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. 14 For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. 15 According to the Lord?s word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. 18 Therefore encourage one another with these words."

"My husband Bruce and I knew Brad largely through his wife, Lori, with whom I worked for many years. They were a sophisticated and elegant couple. Lori is the most loyal friend that Brad could have ever had, and took such good care of him this past year. Her love for him showed - and still does, in everything she does for him. The world will not be the same without Brad, but he will live on through the legacy of his wake-up alarm system, and through his infamous marinara sauce! Love, Celia and Bruce"

"Rick and I were fortunate enough to have know Brad over 30 years. He played the keyboards while Rick was the drummer. So many great memories of one of the finest musicians and person we have ever had the pleasure of knowing and being a part of our lives. Our hearts are deeply saddened and broken. We were lucky enough to have shared a wonderful dinner with Brad and Lori in Tucson just before he became ill. We talked to Brad and Lori and were hoping to get together again so we could return the gesture. The Lord took him way before we could do it as he had a better plan for him. Bless you Lori as you took such great care of him. Your LOOVE for him was truly noticeable. When we first met you, we knew you were right for each other. He will be missed , but he will always be a big part of our hearts and memories. We Love Brad!"

"Dear Lori, Doug and I are truly saddened. You and Brad were the mainstay of our neighborhood and he will be greatly missed. God has taken him home and he is already playing for heaven's angels. He emulated "a life well lived"! Thoughts and prayers..."

"Lori and Kathy - Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. I am so very sorry to hear about Brad's passing. Seeing Brad and Lori at the last family reunion here in Oregon City makes those memories all the more special. Aunt Nicki and Brad both shared a special spot in my heart helping me through my growing up years. It makes me smile to know they are together again. Brad, you are loved and will truly be missed by so many."

"Uncle Brad, thank you for allowing me to reach out to you years ago for advice and for offering me your non judgemental opinion. Thank you for taking care of grandma in her later years and for updating me on her well being as often as you did. While we were never as close as family members should be, I realize that was mainly because of the distance we lived from eachother. Thank you for making every attempt to see us when you passed through Chicago or when we came to Arizona. Please say hello to all of our loved ones on the other side and give Grandma Eula a big hug and kiss for me. I will be praying that God gives Aunt Lori strength in this difficult time. Until we meet again."
