Bradley Larson Obituary

Best wishes to you, Brad.I found out 16 years after your death that you had died. Requiem aeternam dona tibi, Domine, et lux perpetua luceat tibi.

Dear Dorothy, Roy and Family,

We were saddened to read of Bradley's death. He sounds like a remarkable young man. Of course he would be, raised in a family where love and individuality would be valued and nurtured. Our hearts ache for you, and our prayers commend you to the One who gave us life and sustains us in our grieving. We send you a favorite poem by Victor Hugo...Be like the bird, who halting in his flight on limb too slight, feels it give way beneath him, yet sings, knowing he hath wings. We know you gave Brad strong wings. Love, Faith and Bob

When I left Chi-town to live in England, little did I know that the last time we met would be the last time we met on this Earth, full stop.



I hope you are up there making new harps for the angels and mending the old ones whenever they need it.

We drank in the kitchen, Knew no competition, Each knowinng the other Was a good friend to have. I didn't see him as much as I should have, the last couple of years, though I called him on his last birthday. Boy do I feel punk.

It's sad you won't be there on Foster

anymore,but I bet you and Kissler are in the middle of an execellent jam.

Dear Mr. & Mrs Larson, our old friend Jodie and the entire Larson family,

I am in contact with Dave (Swanson) often and only recently heard the sad news about Bradley. Having lost my own brother, Jeff, a few years ago, I deeply feel your sorrow. Sorry we could not make his memorial on Saturday. We remember him fondly and send our condolences to your entire family. God bless you all. The Goodchilds

Dear Larsons,



It is sad to hear of your loss. My thoughts are with you at this time.



"... But

I think I see someone else



there is a lady, whose name is Afterwards

she is sitting beside young death, is slender;

likes flowers."

I am deeply saddened to learn of Bradley's death. I'd like to share a story that demonstrates his generosity...in May 2004, I was involved in a recording project. Our contrabass player had arrived from California and was dismayed to see that one of the wooden pieces had fractured during travel. We frantically tried to locate someone who could repair the bass so that Miles could rehearse and record with us. We were relieved to see that, even after 10 p.m., a light was on in Bradley's shop. He graciously welcomed us and repaired the instrument without charge, even giving Miles some extra adhesive to take along. I will never forget this kind act, which was truly indicative of Bradley's reverence for musical instruments and musicians.

Roy,



Dolores and I wish to express our condolences. It is heartbreaking to lose a child at any age. Our thoughts are with you and your family.

Heartfelt condolences to all the Larson family.

Love you and miss you Brad!!!

I'll miss you Brad!!! You're a true Gentleman and an Old World Craftman!!And,a True Friend!!!
