Brad and Terri (Taylor) were Married in October of 2002 in a small ceremony surrounded by their kids and close family. 

Brad enjoyed working with his hands the most. He recently could be found most nice days up at camp on the Oswegatchie. He was building the camp from the ground up. He enjoyed Hunting with his boys & brothers. And looked forward to spending the upcoming season there. 

One of his greatest joys was watching his children play sports. Telling them stories of how it was “back in the day”. He coached  his daughter in softball, and his older boys in Central Square Little League In their young years. He never missed a lacrosse game for Tom & Mike, always on the sidelines, with homemade cookies and specialty breads in tow for the whole team. 

Brad was most famous for his baking and canning. Fall was the best time of year. If he wasn’t out hunting he could be found in the kitchen baking cookies, sweet breads, canning pickles and applesauce.
