Brad and I were classmates and I remember him fondly. I always admired his career choice and service. My condolences to his family.
Dorothy & Greg, praying for you both! Lots of love to you both!
Brad was a unique individual and worked many years with him at the theatre, I could always depend on Brad, we worked many years on the 6th floor and was always a good sight too see in the morning. You will be missed, condolences to Mary and Chris and all the family.
I worked with Brad Crumley at the Warren when he worked security there. He was always so kind to me. What a sweet man. His family will be in my prayers tonight.
