Here is an email that came in with the attached images. I encouraged her to sign up on the website. In the meantime here is what she sent.
Hi, My name is Joann, and I am a friend of Brad. I found bradcassidy.com from searching on google, and thought to say hello in respect to his family and friends. We met each other through an online game site pogo.com, a little over a year ago, and since then we became friends. And although we lived miles away from each other, and never met face to face, we continued our friendship through email and online game sites. We would email each other every so often throughout weeks and months to update, share our lives and experiences with each other; along with learning new things, such as basic Japanese words and phrases, and playing games together. One of the things he taught me was how to play the board game called “go,” and we would play on a go site called flyordie.com. He was a great person, always joked around, and shared his knowledge and words of wisdom. I learned a lot from him, and enjoyed the conversations and games we had. He will be missed, R.I.P Brad. Also, along with our emails we would send pictures, he sent me a few pictures that wasn’t already posted on bradcassidy.com. And attached it to this email, to post to the website.--Joann

Every scrap of information we get about Brad is special Even if you had no information but had come across this site looking for Brad, we would have loved to hear from you who considered him a friend. Please, come back often. This site is about Brad, but it is about so much more, too. I personally am trying to be better and do better to honor Brad. Hopefully this site will not only keep the memory of Brad alive, but will also become a place we can all learn from. Brad was considered a teacher by many who knew him, With more sources of input, Brad can live on teaching through this site. Even if you only read, you may pass good information to others.
Thanks again.
Joann
Thank you.
Sun, 06/15/2008 - 8:43pmThank you. I've created an account, and have read just about everything on here. I have several saved emails from Brad that not only contain his knowledge, but also his words of wisdom. Although, I am not sure, if I can post blogs on here, as it seems I can only comment; his words of wisdom can be posted for everyone to remember and learn from.
