Default Brad Batchelder

I just learned that Brad has passed away. I know he was going in for surgery on his leg but I don't know any of the particulars. Please send your prayers to his family in this difficult time.

I talked to Parker today and learned this too. Parker wanted to make the announcement here so he could inform us about Brad and explain the process he would be making to continue on with Brad's work. I expect to hear more from Parker here on our forum in the near future.

To say the least, I was shocked to learn of Brad’s passing today. I have done business with Brad for some time now and he has been a main stay in the Parker community. We talked about several Parker projects over the years and he answered many of my questions about how some of the more mysterious processes were accomplished in his trade. He was a true gentleman and one of the most knowledgeable men in our Parker community. His passing is a great loss to all of us. I want to express my deepest sympathies to his friends and family. He will be missed.
