Dear Plotner family–
I realize it has been nearly 4 years since Brad’s passing, however I just found out the news today after Googling him.  I wanted to offer my deepest condolences on your loss. 
Brad was a very good friend of mine in high school.  He was a part of a group of us that used to hang out a lot, going to the movies and just generally having good times which I will remember forever.  I always admired his spirit, intelligence, perseverance, and sense of humor.  He never let anything get to him, and really set an example for all of us.  I learned so many lessons from Brad that I keep with me to this day, and I look forward to passing them down to my daughters.
Although it has been at least 18 years since I last saw Brad, I will never forget him.  He had such an impact on so many lives, and I’m sure he was never aware of just how many people he inspired.  Your family are in my thoughts and prayers.  I thank God for giving me the privilege of being Brad’s friend.
 

Dear Cheryl and Edd,
Please accept our deepest sympathy for the loss of your dear son. Since the early days at the East Pete Pool, we have admired your devotion to your family. Brad was a truly amazing person in so many ways, so inspiring to all of us who were fortunate enough to have known him.

Sincerely,
John, Vicki, John and Laura Bingham

To Brad’s Family 

I worked with Brad at DKW/KWBH – although I was more senior to Brad in experience, when I came on I relied on him HEAVILY to show me the ropes, and what an excellent resource for keen legal thinking, writing and strategy!  He helped me out tremendously.  His determination and fierce independence was beyond remarkable.  My thoughts and prayers are with Brad and you, his family.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to you on the loss of your son Brad.  I had the honor of knowing Brad in school, both at Hempfield and Lafayette.  Selfless and caring, he was always an inspiration to those around him.  He will be deeply missed.

Dear Cheryl, Ed, Greg, Kristen and family,
      My thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this difficult time. The loss of a child is truly the most difficult, There is a poem I have somewhere called God’s Lent Child and as soon as I find it I will drop it off in the hope it will bring a small measure of comfort. I have many memories of the family over the years. Boy Scout Camp, East Pete Pool, East Pete School and the part you and your family played in our lives. You are all an inspiration to Can Do Attitude. You taught your children and maybe mine that there is nothing they can not do. I am sure as I write this you have earned your stars in Heaven. 
Love
Judy Wimmer

To Greg and his Family,

  My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

To all of Brad’s Friends and Family:  I had the privilege of working with Brad when he was a summer associate at DKW Law Group and when he became a first year attorney.  Brad had keen insight in the law, dedication to his clients and fellow lawyers and a lively sense of humour that made working with him a pleasure.  Prayers and thoughts are with you in this time of loss.

With kindest regards,
George Crompton

So sorry for your loss..My thoughts and prayers are with you..

Dear Cheryl and family,
     I want to extend to you my deepest sympathy. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. Blessings to you, Gayla Korns

I went to school with Brad and grew up in East Petersburg. What an inspiration he was to so many. It was obvious his disability didn’t slow him down one bit. My deepest sympathy go out to you and your family.

Mr. and Mrs. Plotner,
I am sorry for your loss. I never met Brad but I met Mrs. Plotner as a professional block student a little over a year ago. I pray that you will feel God’s overwhelming love during this difficult time, and that you will be able to take comfort in the memories you have of your son. God Bless you and your family.
