Condolence: Dear Sarah, Josie, Lucy and the rest of the Brooks family,
We heard the sad news about Brad here in Argentina and wanted to send you our heartfelt condolences. Brad and I coached together when Josie and Emilie played on the same team but we were also neighbours in Champlain Park.
He was a great coach for the girls, very thoughtful and supportive. He gave a lot of his time to make sure it was fun and a good experience for all of them. I really admired his approach and dedication.
He will be missed by many people but we will also remember the legacy he left behind and all the lives that he touched.
We look forward to re-connecting with you when we are back in Ottawa, wishing we could be there in person to support you in this difficult time.
Love and hugs from Rob, Jen, Emilie, Nicholas and William Fry xoxo

Condolence: I was so saddened to hear of Brad's passing. We worked together only for a short time, but he was an easy person to get to know and like. He was very kind and had a great sense of humour. My sincere condolences to his family.

Condolence: There is not a great deal of people that you continue to bring up 30 years after high school when you are regaling about your past. Brad is in so many stories of great times that were that I am truly saddened that despite the distance we did not keep closer. We met in grade 10 and became good friends. He moved to Mississauga before I did but was glad to meet up with him again after I finished university. When he left for England I couldn't help feel pride in the friend I had that was destined to be great because of the simple effort of knowing his abilities, wanting more, and trying. Settling in Ottawa was too far for any visits but we kept in touch for a while then drifted to Christmas letter greetings. I wish we were closer and we could have been friends with Sarah and watch the girls grow up. Its been over a year since I talked to Brad but he was so proud of you all when we did last speak. My heart is yours. I know your grief. Time will help but healing is a task that you have to will upon yourself. On my end I will try to remember Brad's off colour jokes and witticisms that was never short in supply. I love you Brad.... I wish we talked more
