Hard to believe he won't be at the 30th, Brad will be missed.

I have such fun memories of Brad (along with Chis Hladick). Those 2 could make me laugh so much. Yet I never once saw Brad after high school. Even so it does seem strange to know he's gone. I'm glad I knew him.

I lived around the corner from Brad my whole childhood and had a HUGE crush on him! (i lived on Euclid). One of my favorite memories of Brad is hanging on his fence with my girlfriend Kathy (Hampton) trying to look cool for Brad. Unfortunately for us, Brad had a huge St. Bernard dog in the backyard which we didn't know until it was too late... Kathy fell in and i laughed until i peeded my pants as Brad's dog "mauled Kathy" (i think he was trying to 'breed' with her!!) he left permanent scars on Kathy, scratching her (in places too sensitive to mention here!)- and i left with wet pants! now THAT was really looking HOT for brad! He walked off shaking his head and we walked off wondering if he thought we were cool or not! RIP Brad. I will never forget you.

I really can't believe Brad is gone. We had so much fun together and I miss him dearly! He was definitely blessing to me and I will never forget him.

When I heard that Brad died, I had already had 2 really bad news things happen within about a 3 week time frame. They say it comes is threes, and it was true last summer.

Brad was a really great, fun friend. Second Semester, Senior year I walked into English class, and someone said "hey we saved you a seat!" It was Brad, sitting with Chris Hladik. I was SHOCKED! I didn't even know that Brad knew who I was. From that point on, we sat together in that class, Brad, Chris & I, at the back of the room......and I actually WANTED to go to English class. First semester we had been in class together as well, and I gyped a lot, so much that the teacher asked me about it in front of the class, which was TOTALLY out of character for me. But, thanks to Brad, I actually ATTENDED class second semester! :)

Then, we also went to Friends University together for one year. Just recently I got a copy of my transcript, and the "D's" on it make it apparent that I remember correctly Brad and I spent almost as much time GYPPING as we did ATTENDING! But, it was fun, and I wouldn't give that time up for anything now.

I can't remember when, but I think sometime around our 15th reunion Brad and I met for lunch at Burger King. He had registered for the reunion, and then didn't show up! He FORGOT! :) SO I called him, and we went to lunch. That's when He told me about the heart troubles and the strokes...it was such a shock to know that someone so young was having those kind of troubles already. We didn't talk much after that. When he didn't show up to the 20th reunion, I left him some messages but never heard back from him. When I got the news I wished I had tried harder to talk to him just "one more time."

At his funeral the minister mentioned that someone told him that Brad was the "BARRY MANILOW OF TRUESDELL JR. HIGH"? Remember that? It was so true. We were so silly, weren't we??? :) That's what Junior High is for, I guess! :)

One other thing I remember about Brad, was that at Graduation, as I walked across stage, he was on one of the front rows and He yelled out my name "BOWMAN" he said! At that point, I really didn't hang out with anyone from our High School. I realize now it was due to what was going on at my home, but I basically HATED the entire "social" part of High School. SO, just knowing that one of my classmates recognized me going across stage meant more than I'm sure Brad ever realized.

I did get the chance to tell Brad, when we went to lunch that day, that he helped get me through that English class and through that year at Friends. He said "DITTO". It is always amazing. We never really know that impact we make on someone. I had no idea that I helped him, and I'm sure, until I told him that he also had no idea how much he helped me.

Brad Loved Jesus. No matter what else I know about Brad Delozier, he Loved Jesus. He is in Heaven, and if you love Jesus, you will also get to see Brad again someday. Heaven is a little more special because OUR BARRY MANILOW is up there.

Thanks for taking the time to read this. It has been good for me to write it. If there is someone you need to tell what they mean to you, or how much they helped you....PLEASE DO IT! You never know when you won't get to tell them any more!

Good bye (for now) to my life friend since we were 5... a full, yet restless life.. he lived life to the fullest yet so many things that he never accomplished he wanted too.. I guess that is the story of most and why we desire so much more for our children... what a sad end to such a young life.... to anyone who reads this, embrace those you love and never take anything for granted.. I LOVE YOU BROTHER>>>.. see you soon!!!!
