My sincere condolences. I went to high school with Brad and have very fond memories of his friendship. My prayers and best wishes go out to his family.
So sorry to hear of Brads passing. Brad and I golfed together as teammates in Millbrook’s annual golf tournament. We also played hockey and ball together. He was a good friend and colleague and I will always remember his contagious laughter. My deepest condolences to his family and friends . Bob Hickson N

My sincerest condolences to the entire family and friends -- in my thoughts and prayers.
We were both saddened to hear the passing of Brad. We remember his infectious laugh and smile whether it be "walking the halls" or casting a line. Talking about "his girls" was joy he shared on many an occassion. I can still see that smile and laugh upon a "tractor bound for Peterborough". You will be missed but in our hearts to the end.

My sincere condolences to the Thackeray family. Brad was one of the good guys who helped me get through my orientation period while working at Millbrook and the weekly hockey night.
Murray & I remember your laughing eyes, always smiling. You were a joy to have around at MCC. You are now free Brad, farewell!
Brad was one of the "good guys" working in Millbrook CC for many years. We became quite close at that time fishing, hockey besides working together. I and many others who worked with Brad felt very sad and emotional when he had to leave working with us. Losing touch with Brad was a gradual occurrence. I'd hear little things about how he was doing in his new Kingston location but eventually nothing. Until one day several years after he had left Millbrook, he called me from his home in Kingston and he sounded just like the old "Thak" i knew. I always missed him and felt honoured to have worked with him and know him as a friend. My condolences to his daughters Emily and Hannah and to the rest of his "clan" that loved him. Rest in Peace Brother.
My sincerest condolences for the loss of Brad. I was privileged to have worked with Brad and knew him as a friend. Many a fond memories years past. RIP Brad.
My sincere condolences on the loss of Brad. I had the honor & privilege of working with Brad at Millbrook. He was one of the good guys & I was blessed to call him my friend. God speed, Brad.
Please accept my sincere condolences on the loss of Brad. I had the privilege of working with him at Millbrook for a number of years and we played ball and hockey together. He was a great co- worker and a good friend. ????
