Richard L. Brady (1937-2008)
My Dad passed last week (Dec 12th). The whole family flew home to Portland and arrived the evening of the 11th. Dad had been in the hospital for 3 days already. I was able to be there with him and was able to talk to him about his favorite topics,(fishing, Blazers, etc). Earlier in the year, he was diagnosed with pulminary fibrosis and I guess it finally got to him. This was a bit sudden, but the whole family was able to be by his side. Dad was one of the most sincere and kind people you could ever meet. He loved his family more than anything and everyday of his life put his kids and wife before himself. He was a supportive and loving father. No one could deny his love for children. I can't imagine a better father. Growing up he was my coach, my best friend, my fishing pal, my Daddy, I love you Dad. . .

I was shocked and saddened to learn of your dad's death. I have MANY great memories of him. He was very dedicated to his children. I remember when Erin and I wanted to play winter soccer. He did all the research and got it all lined up and drove us out to NE Portland many times for practices. He was awesome. He easily had conversations with anyone and made everyone feel important. He will be so missed! Please send my love to your mom and siblings!
That was a beautiful post, Pat. I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. May you and your family find some peace in the quiet moments of reflection and love during this time.
Much love,
