The last time Brad and I saw each other was in high school, more than 30 years ago. But those are happy memories. From the start, he used to these over-the-top impressions of Steve Martin being 'a wild and crazy guy' from Saturday Night Live that would leave us in stitches. It became his signature of sorts. I'll always associate Brad with laughter, and that's probably one of the best ways to remember someone. Thank you, Bradley Paul Nolan. Much love and peace to your parents, brother and whole family.

To my brother Brad,
With earth now set and flowers wilting, sadly I leave for my home in Japan.  The love that surrounded you in life is the greatest comfort to me now after your death: from your loyal friends, your wonderful co-workers, your lovely wife, and our blessed family.  I cannot bring myself to say "goodbye" to you, Brad - only a heart-felt "thank you" for being the brother that anyone would be so proud to claim as theirs.  I love you, bro, forever.  Rest in peace.
Brian

Lynette,  So sorry for your loss.  Know that your loss is Heaven's gain.

The Nolan Family,
So sorry for your loss.  Prayers are with you.

Brad, I only knew you for a brief period while working with you at Syngenta, but feel like I've known you my entire life. The impact you had on my life as well as my co-workers is hard to put into words. Your warm and caring personality was always present regardless of the difficulties we faced together. You truly had a way of making everyone around you feel at ease with your soft spoken words and the fairness of your character. However, it was your smile, quick wit and great sense of humor that we loved most about you.

Mary Beth, I can only imagine the loss you must feel during this time of mourning and reflection on Brad's earthly life. He was truly a great example of God's Love, as a family man, co-worker and business associate. I am blessed and honored to be his Friend and the memories of time we shared together will forever be embedded on my mind and in my heart. You and your family will be in my Thoughts and Prayers as you deal with Brad's early departure from this life. I pray that you will find peace in knowing, as a Christian, Brad will have a home in Heaven until you meet again. I pray that his Soul and the Souls of all the faithfully departed Rest in Peace, Amen.

Your Friend,

Brad had a very warm heart and congenial personality. I always remembered the great fun having conversations with him and couple of other friends during lunch at work. We miss him. My deepest consolations to  the family and prayers to cope with this bereavement.

I worked with Brad at Syngenta. This was such a shock when we heard about Brad's tragic accident. Looking at the photos in the scrap book, it is very clear that he loved his family and enjoyed life with them. To his family, you are in our thoughts and prayers. He will be missed by everyone. May God comfort everyone in his family.

Brad, you left us too soon.  You were always smiling and that made those around you smile.  You will be missed but never forgotten.

Gone much too soon! Brad made the work environment fun. My deepest sympathy to his family.

HE always made me laugh.  Brad was taken away too soon from his friends and family.  He had a great attitude.
