We Lost a Fellow Dreamer Today, Brad Sign In/Join

Many of you 'oldies' will remember Brad Bradstreet who was one of the best photographers ever and a fellow dreamer here on the boards. I learned on facebook today that he passed away around noon. His son, Bill, posted to Brad's facebook page. I am in total shock!! I met Brad here on the message board. We spoke regularly online and although I never met him in person, we both visited the 2006 Dream Home at Lake Lure. He was also a regular visitor to The Biltmore House in Asheville for photographs, another place I loved to visit. For those of you who aren't on facebook, I wanted to share this information. Rest In Peace, Brad!!

He's been gone from the boards for quite some time. I've wondered where all the ol' bloggers have gone. Many condolences to his family.

Brad was a fine artist, but also a lovely gentleman. We were greatly blessed to know him.

I didn't see this post earlier which is why I posted about Brad's passing too. It is so shocking and hard to imagine that Brad is gone. He even started a HGTV message board on facebook. He will be missed!

Most everyone who knew him here are on facebook now but thought I would share, for those of you who aren't.

My thoughts and prayers go out to his family. He was a great contributor to the Dream House boards over the years. He will truly be missed. Cry

Condolences to Brad's family! I miss many of the old timers here on the mb, but Brad always added a special touch with his photographs. He will be missed.
