My family and I just got to experience our first ever river float 3 weeks ago thanks to Charlene, Mark and Brad.  The road into the place were we launched at was horrible and none of us could believe mark's car got through it! Brad as always was riding shot gun. When Brad got out he was cracking up, he looked at my husband and I and said; while laughing historically, "I think half his car is hung up on the biggest hole back there", knowing that Mark had to come through again before we actually launched! We had such a great time floating down the river, while Brad and Mark had to keep towing our tubes back in the kayaks to the middle of the river, so Charlene and I would stop getting hit in the butt with rocks. It was a great time! 

The first time I met Brad was around a bon fire Mark was having on my oldest son's 18th birthday! Within 2 minutes he was cracking jokes at me because I tripped over a tree stump! I hung out with Brad at about every Belzner/Foose family function in the last 10 years! There weren't many that he willingly missed! 

Brad was such a positive person to be around! He could cheer anyone up, even if he didn't know you! His laugh was always contagious! He was all around a good guy that truly will be missed! 

Apparently God needed angels still, and  he sure got the best one! So glad to have met Brad and I wish there was more time with him, more river trips, more bon fires, more parties!
