Sorry for your loss!
I worked with Brad at Berglund, he was always so kind & helpful. He would shovel a path from my parking spot to the front door on snowy days. I am so glad I saw him in October while working in Des Moines & had a chance to tell him how much his kindness meant! God Bless

I got to know Brad from the Moose Lodge. I will remember him as an easy going guy who loved fishing and nascar and Old Milwaukee. He made a mean potato salad and applesauce too! My Prayers to his Family and friends. He will be greatly missed 🙏🙏🙏
