Hi CU,

It's been a few weeks now and I thought I would share that fellow CU member and my brother, Brad, has passed away. Brad was a huge coin enthusiast and spent many enjoyable hours perusing this and other forums. We were planning a guy's trip to the ANA show next month in Oklahoma City and Brad had his shopping list ready.

I don't have the words to express what kind of a person Brad was so I will let this post share his story for me:

Will miss you always, Brad.

Tim

    Very sorry for your loss. I read the Facebook post and he sounded like a man who lived life to the fullest and knew how to spread love and support to those in need.

    His struggles became his strength and it sounds like he learned so much during his time here on Earth.

    God bless you and your family. 😎

    So terribly sorry, I have a brother and sister and we are at the age that we try to spend as much time together as possible, for one day we too will only have our memories. I feel your love will give you so many memories that, I hope, will comfort you as will our Lord. Take care

    Damn, this sucks. Though I never directly interacted with him, he was was a positive force on this forum. You just never know when someone's time comes, so the memories you collected are far more valuable than the coins you have in your collection.

    RIP.
