Brad met the love of his life Theresa and they united in marriage in September 2010. Together they bought a small farm outside of Omro so his wife could continue her passion with horses. They purchased land and built a cabin together where they would spend time with their dogs and horses and a place for the family to go. Brad enjoyed pheasant hunting, he also enjoyed grouse and woodcock hunting with his dogs and hunting partners for 30 years (Mark, Ted, Mike and Jack) and looked forward to the yearly October hunt with his family and friends. Brad and Theresa also enjoyed time fishing on Lake Winnebago where Theresa would often out fish him. Brad spent his retirement years walking the marsh with his dogs, most recent with his dogs Tina and Tilly who were his girls. Brad was a funny and loving husband, step father, brother, uncle and step grandpa to his family. There was never a question about his love for us.
