Brad treated all of our children with such respect and care. It may seem small by the world's standards but Brad took the time to find the same flavor lollipops for our ten children. When I told him that one of our kids did not like fruit flavors he remembered that fact and then found 9 similar flavors and one chocolate lollipop for that little guy. Every time. He always had a smile and a pleasant thing to say and always called me by name. There aren't many men like Brad out there anymore. We are praying for him and his wife and family. We will never forget him.

What can I say that hasn't been said here already? We all need to be a little more like Brad... it's amazing how a smile can make such a difference! He was truly one of those guys that you envied as he was a kind, happy soul. I am very sorry for our Avidia family and for all his family and friends. God Bless.

When I heard the news of Brad's passing I was shocked. I only knew him as that guy at the bank who always said hello, called me by name and always had a smile. I clearly remeber when he started at the bank 20 years ago...as business owners in Town we saw him everday. I will miss his smiling face at thr drive-thru. God bless hom, the family and his fellow co-workers. RIP Brad

We are truly saddened to learn about Brad's passing and express our deepest sympathies to his family.

Our weekly trips to the drive-up window will never be the same for us and our young grandsons who always elicited a big smile from Brad as they shouted his name.

May his memory be eternal.

My condolences to Doris, and family. Brad trained me on the drive up 18 years ago when I was first hired at Hudson Savings Bank. It was obvious that he absolutely loved what he did, and all of the people he saw each day come through his line. I honestly can't remember ever seeing him in a bad mood in all the years I worked with him. His presence will be missed by the many people who have worked with him, and all of the people that came through the drive up just to say hello. Keep smiling down on your family Brad. RIP
