Condolences to the family.
Carol, I'm so sorry for your loss. I know that your memories will, at some point, bring comfort. I'm keeping you and your family in my thoughts.
Dear Carol, I'm so sorry to hear of Brad's passing. He will be remembered as having so much life. I grew up next door to Brad and Debbie and they were the best neighbors anyone could ask for. Great happy childhood memories. Thinking of you in the days ahead. Peace and comfort to you and your family at this time.
So sorry to hear about Brads passing. Many special memories of him growing up on Rutherford Ave. He was one of the older boys in the neighborhood and always included me and younger brother David to hang out with the older boys at the Moreths garage. From the banter of youth, exposure of true muscle cars of the 60's, cute older girls, high horsepower car rides and summer night trips to Skip's Drive Inn on North Ave to watch the big boys drag race to name a few.
Carol, I'm so sorry to hear about Brads passing. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
My sympathy to Brad’s family on his passing. He was one of the older guys on Rutherford Ave. Always a nice guy. I remember how cute he was, and how it would make me feel when he’d smile and say hi. It was a great block of families, lots of memories. May you take comfort in all your own memories of Brad.

My condolences to Debbie and Carol and their families. In the 60s, if things got dull, find Brad, wait10 seconds. We rode our bikes to the abandoned Carey Brickyard, made water balloon bombs, shot his BB gun, worked on motors and played baseball & football on the empty streets. At the end of the day we joined the girls and played Ring a levio until 9 o'clock. Brad and his father Ray, got me in to scouting, where I learned camping, canoeing, & survival skills. Camping with Brad and Donny was like being on tactical maneuvers, pulling tent stakes and guidelines, from the other troops, after the sun went down. Brad was a good friend and I'll miss him.
