In these moments I'm trying to find the right words with which I would described the sorrow I feel for Brad ... but without success, this loss of a Great man can not be described with words. Thank you Brad for being a part of our lives and thank you the precious moments that I will always remember and cherish. Rest in peace.

What I am feeling right now is hard to put into words. Bradsky was my friend and my mentor. I can never forget good times in Speicher, Iraq, Brad would sheak to the back of the offices and throw a big rock against our office wall, we would all jump off our chairs thinking that something exploded. Brad you will always be in my heart and I am honored to be associated with a nobel person like you. Rest in peace.

My time with Brad was short but during that time I've learned so many things: Wit, Intelligence, Business Savy, Knowledge, Cooperation and Esprit De Corps. I learned that much in such a short time Brad you will be sorely missed I wished that I would have had the opportunity to take in more of your wisdom & knowledge. I will take what I have learned and do good things. Thank you for being you. R.I.P. - My Brotha Will

Late Brad Van Adams was a good and kind person to each and everyone. As I can rememeber he was always asking from me ....Just a joke like " Hey man where is my coffee" still I can remeber those things and those are really an unforgetable things for me. He was an honest and he is a good human being as well. I will never forget him in my life and I pray for him to be rest in peace. God bless him. My deepest sympathies for his entire family.

I trasured Brad's strait and honest advise, for with all of his hashness disposition I knew that below all that there was a good caring heart. Brad was my mentor and like a father to me as he always set me straight while dealing with tremendous pressure in the maintenance and power generation department . My heartfelt condolance to his families and freinds

I am crying as if he were my father because he was the closest to it when I worked with him and under him as Supervisor in Iraq/Tikrit/C1. We shall miss him greatly, all those that had the pleasure and privilege to work with him. Everyone could see the rough and tough but fair and straightforward Brad, both professionally and privately. He had the knowledge, information and intelligence to challenge every authority and opinion. On the other hand, needed advice on love or personal matters he would show his soft and sensitive inner self that I also saw in him when he talked about you and his grandson and showed us picture of him. May dear old B rest in peace.

I am so sorry to hear of Brad's passing. He was a friend from childhood through adulthood. Always loved watching him play little league baseball. Even though we lost contact in the past several years, I did keep up with him a bit. My prayers go out to his family. Debbie (Rodgers) Benoit

Brad was such a nice person to work with. I enjoyed our time in Production Control. If you ever needed help with PowerGen, he was there to answer any question. I am so sad to loose a good friend!!!!!!
