Wendy; I was so sorry to hear of Brad's passing. Sue called me to tell me this sad news. You & Brad were such an outstanding couple. The cruises we went on with you & the rest were the best. You two welcomed Glen & I like long lost friends. The condolences you sent to me when Glen passed away were so nice,& they meant so much to me.What can I say to you & your family Wendy, other than my heart goes out to you. I hope the wonderful years & memories with Brad help you through this difficult time. My thoughts & prayers are with you.

Our condolences to the Bradley Family. We were born and grew up together on Pentridge St. and 53rd and Florence,SW Phila. All the girls in our neighborhood had a crush on Rich including us! He taught me (Bunny) to play basketball, how to fight and protect myself and how to perfect the game of wall ball against Harris's grocery store wall on the corner. All of the kids in our neighborhood loved to gather at Watson's neighborhood store too. We all looked forward to those delicious steak sandwiches and hoagies every Friday or Saturday night. Richie was tough too. No one wanted to mess with him. One time I was walking home and some kids from Shaw Jr. High surrounded me and wanted my wallet and money. Richie ran up to them, pulled me out of the middle and told them to leave me alone. He became my hero for life. In contrast, he had a voice like an angel when he sang in the choir at De Sales. Thank you Rich for all the fond, childhood memories we have of you, your brothers and the rest of the gang who grew up in our neighborhood including those who lived on the other side of 53rd St. and went to MBS. We miss you and will never forget you. Bunny(Sundstrom)Rixey, Sally (Sundstrom)Harvey and Ronnie (Scott)Long. Love ya!

Wendy,
Was sadden to hear about Rich(Brad). My prayers and condolences go out to your family and you.
Loved Rich as a friend. He was refreshing in so many ways. His honesty and directness were great attributes of Rich's. You always knew were he stood.
I will miss him. I had many memorable times with Rich, and enjoyed the many times that I spent with Rich and you.
Take care and I will keep Rich in my prayers.

This is so sudden, it's difficult to express my thoughts and feelings. I knew Rich from Wesley College and he was such an intricate piece of our Wesley alumni friends. Everyone liked him and he will be missed.
My thoughts and prayers go out to Rich's family through this difficult time.
