From an early age, Brad enjoyed playing and watching all kinds of sports, his favorite being hockey, and he loved playing street hockey with his neighbourhood friends. He also played on the Rangers baseball team for several years. We could always count on Brad to be the comedian at family gatherings and events. Brad completed his education in Portage where he lived and worked all his life. He started working as a newspaper delivery person followed by a job at Safeway, and then Campbells Soup, completing his work by driving taxi for several years, where he met several of his current friends. Struggling with his health from an early age, Brad always kept a positive attitude and outlook. He was always willing to help anyone in need, even if it was just a good laugh, and he was always the level head and positive influence when it was needed.
