Brad and Judy where the first people i met when I moved to Ina,IL. I Rented a house from them in 2005 . I have known Brad for 20years. He was a kind, hard working man. Many times when he would be driving down my Street. And I was outside , in front of my house. He would many times stop in the road and we would strike up a conversation. I also enjoyed seeing him and Judy and visiting with them. He was a dear Friend to me and my late Husband Darrell. I send my condolences, love and prayers to Judy, Todd and Jodi and Family. He will be greatly missed. RIP BRAD.

Living in Ina most my life I knew Brad well. Every time I saw him when I was a kid or later on in life he always had a smile or funny phrase. Steve Fowler and I worked for the Village Brad would tell us in hot weather or cold weather Hey Boys it´s bout to get serious. Sorry Todd and family for your loss. Jerry Conner
