My deepest condolences to the entire Brady family. I had the privilege of getting to know and becoming friends with Tom during his weekly trips to the gym on Frontenac. Tom was a wonderful man with a big heart and a quick smile. Weekly we shared stories about our families and it was easy to see how much he loved you all and how proud he was of his children and grandchildren! His resolution and fortitude to take on the insidious disease he battled humbled and inspired me. He did not go down with a fight! Tom Brady will live forever in my heart!
