I met Brad over 20 years ago. Of all my partners at Cutter, he was the one I worked with most and we had many adventures over a decade of solving client transformation needs for financial services firms. As a business partner to work with he had a lot of great qualities - he was pragmatic, a passionate entrepreneur, personable with clients and knowledgeable about the industry. He also ‘cut to the chase’ on any topic personally and professionally with ruthless speed and it was both a blessing and a curse! He was the most passionate angler I’ve ever met and in recent years in retirement he channeled his passions into working with birds of prey conservation – something I never would have pictured him doing but it was a great new interest for him and I believe it helped him as a diversion from the health challenges he battled in the last couple of years. I have many great memories and will miss our candid conversations on a myriad of topics – we could always pick up where we just left off, no matter how long it had been since we last chatted in the last decade. My condolences to Judy, his extended family and close friends.

Bernie was a good high school buddy of mine. We kept in touch for a number of years after HS. He hosted Steph and I in Indiana on our drive west when me moved to Seattle. And business brought him to Seattle for a number of years - so I probably saw more of Bernie in the 80/90s than most any other laker. Bernie, you will be missed.

To my wonderful Uncle Brad. I have so many beautiful memories with you that I will cherish forever. Your big smile and witty comments always filled up any room we were in. Your love and laughter with Judy was also something I always admired. You will be very missed. May you Rest In Peace on a beautiful lake with a fishing pole in hand.

I worked with Brad at the Center for Birds of Prey. He really enjoyed being there. I believe his favorite bird was the older Bald Eagle, which is the one of the first admittances to the clinic, 30 years ago. He was great with the birds, and a pleasure to work with. We often talked of fishing and boating. He will be missed.

Bradford - We've laughed about this day for 50 years. Not so funny now. You are a good friend. You've always included me in all of your life. You always seemed to know what to do. You took the lead and in doing so, showed me how to be a leader. Thank you Brad for accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. It meant a lot to Judy and me.
Your antics at Eaglebrook are some of my favorite highlights

Your antics at Eaglebrook are some of my favorite highlights there. I will always remember our tough love for the 5th and 6th graders we were Proctors over. Flipping their beds when they over slept late and showing them compassion and kindness when they were homesick.
I am glad we were able to reconnect in the past couple of years.
I will see you again my friend,
Hugh

Our hearts and prayers are with you. Being a life long friend with Brad, he gave us all a ride to remember forever. Love you

Bernie has been my best friend for most of my life. We played football together and became best friends. After graduating from High School Bernie and I hitch hiked across countryu for the whole summer, it was a trip full of interesting and sometimes scary events. Bernie was my Best Man at Mary Lynn's and My wedding...rarely a day goes by where I don't think of Bernie and our life...I'm going to miss you brother.
