his customers. He enjoyed sharing stories and telling jokes. Brad was devoted to his customers, often opening the shop after hours to
help farmers during harvest. Brad enjoyed doing welding repairs and also manufacturing some of his own ideas. Brad enjoyed fishing,
hunting, playing cards, and flying his powered parachute plane. Brad passed away unexpectedly on March 15, 2014 at age 59. This
