Hi Brad,
Was thinking of you yesterday. Joey found a picture of us as kids. He knew Alan and me of course. Then he asked "Who him?" So I told him everything about you. We came to the web site to see a picture of you. He asked if God made you an angel. remembering when we were kids I almost laughed but then I said yes. Now he's pretending to be a "police man". He's wearing a blue hat, had me make a star (ever try cutting out an actual badge?) and says he's "tectin'" me from "bad guys". Its a shame he will never know you, but I do keep your memory alive by telling him about you and what a good guy you grew up to be. (I'll save the stories when we grew up when he's older and won't try the same thing to others.) Love you always, Lori

Hey Brad,

I have not left a message in a long time but I think about you almost everyday. I keep a picture of you hanging up on my locker and I will never forget you. I wish I kept in touch with you. You were such a sweet guy. One of the nicest people I knew. It had been a while since I saw you but like we all say to each other that we will keep in touch but we never do. I try now with people. I just wanted you to know you are missed. Watch over everyone miss you lots.

Hi,Brad. I think about you everyday. You will always have a special place in my heart and you will always be loved.I am doing ok. I am married now to a wonderful,gentle and loving man.You would have approved. But you will always hold a very special piece of my heart. I know you watch over me every day to make sure I'm ok. It touches my soul that after 3 years,people are still saying such sweet things about you. You were very special to people. Your life touched so many people. And people still care.I will always love you.My love to all the friends and strangers who have left a reflection over the years.Your kindness and support has been greatly appreciated. LISA

I miss you more then anything. I hope you are watching over me. I want you to know I will never have a friend that was so supportive and their for me like you were. Love Ya!

I have spoken rarely about you and the accident, partly because I'd like to forget it ever happened and partly because almost three years later, I still don't know what to say. Had I known at the moment I initiated the pursuit what the result would be, I would have never done it. The look the driver gave me as we first passed each other, the anger and fear I felt during the pursuit, and most of all, speeding to the accident scene after terminating the pursuit and dispatch asking us to check on you. The horror I felt when I arrived and viewed the scene. The look on Joe's face when we realized it was you. I'm not sure I've ever gotten past the fact that you were coming to help me, just like you had so many times before with all of us. If you only knew how much I appreciate what you did that day when you didn't have to. That's just the kind of guy you were; always willing to help and always smiling. You were a great guy Brad and I'm sorry it took so long...

Hey Brad,
I just wanted to let you know I think about you everyday and miss you so much. Everytime something happens good or bad I just want to call and tell you all about it. Well, I moved out of Riverview and the worst part of moving was feeling like the memory of you would be gone. I know I still have the memories in my heart but Riverview will always be special to me because of you. I hope your Family and Lisa are doing good and I want them to know that you are so important to so many people. I miss you!

Hey Buddy, just thinking about you. We miss you a lot. A lot has changed at Riverview recently. Think of you everyday when I hit the road. Our hearts go out to your family, your many friends, and Riverview PD.

It has been 2 years since you were called away and my thoughts are with your loved ones on this day and also on Christmas which is fast approaching. I know it has not been easy for those who love you, keep looking down on them and protect them. You are a true hero and heroes never die. You will never be forgotten.

Thinking of you on the 2nd anniversary of your death:
The accident that killed you also killed a part of us.
It killed a part of your family, both at work and at home.
It killed your dreams, your hopes, your future.
But it must not kill our determination to make this
world a better place or our will to make a difference.
Thank your for your service. Time will not diminish
your sacrifice.

Hi Brad

May 3, 2006

Brad,
Hey buddy, it's been too long. I've been preparing for the new baseball draft & I find that I'm gravitating towards the guys you were telling me about two years ago. We're doing a total redraft this year & almost every guy I'm hoping to draft is one we discussed. Man, you were way ahead of the rest of us. Tonight at Ole, Leon (Eric) prayed for your help for our dart team. I could hear your laughter in my head, but I know you'll always be there for us, as you always have. I hope Lisa & your family are well & I hope that you are happy in heaven, getting a kick out of our day to day goofiness.
Peace buddy,
Mark

BRAD;

WE MET AT THE ST. LOUIS COUNTY POLICE ACADEMY DURING A CONTINUING EDUCATION CLASS. WE TALKED ABOUT NUMEROUS ISSUES AMOUNG POLICE DEPTS AND THEIR OFFICERS. I WAS A NEW OFFICER THEN AND YOU TOLD ME THAT TO BE AN EFFECTIVE AND GOOD COP IS TO BE COMPASSIONATE AND DO A GOOD JOB NO MATTER HOW MUCH TIME OR EFFORT IT INVOLVES. I HAVE LISTENED AND ACCEPTED WHAT BRAD TOLD ME EVEN UNTIL NOW. IT HAS HELPED WITH DEALING WITH SITUATIONS THAT HAVE BEEN CONFRONTATIONAL TO THE LESS SERIOUS CALLS I HAVR RESPONDED TO. HE HAS GIVEN ME ADVICE ON OTHER ISSUES THAT HAVE GONE THE WAY HE SAID IT WOULD, "THANK YOU"! ESPECIALLY WHEN I HAD TO MAKE A DECISION TO CHANGE DEPTS HE TOLD ME THAT I SHOULD GO WHERE MY TALENTS WOULD BENEFIT ME AND THE DEPT RATHER THAN BE SOMEWHERE WHERE IT WOULD NOT BE USED. HE WAS RIGHT AND I WILL ALWAYS FOLLOW HIS ADVISE IN ANY DECISIONS I MAKE WHERE I AM NOW.

GOD BLESS YOU BRAD AND YOUR FAMILY!!!

IF ONLY….



IF ONLY YOU KNEW WHEN I HEAR OF A BURNING HOUSE HOW FEAR RUNS THROUGH

MY BODY, HOPING, PRAYING EVERYONE WILL BE SAFE.

IF ONLY YOU KNEW WHENEVER I HEAR A SIREN, I PRAY. I PRAY FOR YOUR SAFETY AND

FOR THE SAFETY OF THE FAMILY YOU’RE GOING TO HELP.

IF ONLY YOU KNEW WHEN YOU HAVE TO TELL A FAMILY A LOVED ONE HAS DIED, MY

HEART IS SAD FOR THE FAMILY AND FOR YOU.

IF ONLY YOU KNEW WHEN I HEAR A SIREN I WILL BE THE DRIVER PULLING OVER FOR YOU.

IF ONLY YOU KNEW I THEN MAKE THE SIGN OF THE CROSS, PRAY AND HOPE EVERYONE WILL PULL OVER TOO.

IF ONLY YOU KNEW WHEN YOU WALK IN TO A ROOM, IN YOUR UNIFORM, MY HEART SWELLS

WITH PRIDE AND I THINK OF THE LIVES YOU’VE TOUCHED THAT DAY

AND WHAT A DIFFERENCE YOU’VE MADE.

IF ONLY YOU KNEW WHEN YOU TELL ME STORIES ABOUT HOW YOUR DAY HAS GONE.

HOW YOUR TRIED TO SAVE A LIFE AND YOU DID THE BEST YOU COULD… AS YOU ALWAYS DO.

IF ONLY YOU KNEW I CRIED WITH YOU.

IF ONLY YOU KNEW HOW I’M SHOCKED AND SADDENED WHEN I HEAR HOW DISRESPECTFUL

PEOPLE ARE TO YOU AND TO THE OTHERS WHO SERVE AND PROTECT THEM TOO.

IF ONLY YOU KNEW HOW MUCH I RESPECT YOU AND OTHERS FOR THE JOB YOU AND THEY DO.

IF ONLY YOU KNEW EVERYDAY I PRAY TO GOD TO SEND HIS ANGELS TO WATCH OVER YOU.

IF ONLY YOU KNEW I WORRY WHEN YOU GO ON A CALL, PERHAPS A DOMESTIC VIOLENCE,

NO TELLING WHAT YOU’RE WALKING IN TO.

****DEAR GOD KEEP THEM SAFE!****

IF ONLY YOU KNEW HOW BRAVE I THINK YOU ARE BUT SOMEHOW I THINK YOU DO.
