Brad worked with me since 1999. More steady in the last few years. In fact he was at his favorite job "on the combine", until the middle of August when his health literally forced him from the combine seat.
He was more intelligent, a better mechanic, with a greater love of Farming than I had. We worked together very well, enjoying work and leisure together.
Whenever I would ask him if we wanted to attempt tackling a new or difficult job, he would invariably answer: "Not a problem".
We had just built a new shop, and had planned on working together for another 20-30 years, but it was not to be.
Until his passing, I had never realized that I had grown to love him as a brother.
Katelyn and Scott were his greatest love, and I hope they always remember that, and carry it in their minds.
I will miss Brad in so many ways.
