When I saw this last night, I was shocked like everyone else. I first talked to Brad around a year and a half ago about working on a Parker for me. After that positive experience, I sent him 4 more Parkers over that time. For someone like me relatively new to Parkers he always took time to explain things to me on the phone.

On one lifter, I had messed up the lock plate screw and he said he would fix it(which he did) and offered to send me the right screwdriver tip so I didn’t do it again. Instead, I ordered a nice set per his recommendation. I think that speaks to his character and his willingness to teach people who were new to hobby. I felt I was always learning something from him every time we talked about a project.

I will miss him and my heart goes out to his family during this difficult time.
