Brad was bilingual and had a passion for learning foreign languages which continued to the end. In high school he won many honors and scholarships in German, Spanish, and French. He worked for the State in Social Services and as an interpreter for several entities until his health failed, but he never stopped learning.

The family would also like to thank the staff at Texas Oncology, and Dr. Bercher and his hospice staff for the excellent care they provided.
