Brad was a great kid. He was diagnosed a few months after the 2006 VW Classic. He originally had testicular cancer and then lost a kidney. He flew out to Long Island last October and we went to see his beloved LA Kings play the Islanders... and they won. He felt great and looked good and I was trying to convince him to come back for the Litchfield show in June. In the middle of December he had a turn for the worse and his liver and remaining kidney were shutting down. A bunch of friend busted him out of the hospital and took him home. He was surrounded by friends until he passed on Christmas night.
