He helped his son Tyler every chance he could with his upholstery business; and he loved bonding with his son. Brad spent a lot of time at their cottage Up North in Waters, MI. They enjoyed many trips to the Keeweenaw Peninsula where he and Carol picked rocks on Lake Superior's beach and searched for waterfalls. They also loved lighthouse hunting and would find different restaurants to experience along their travels. Brad and Carol volunteered for 2 years at the Felt Mansion in Saugatuck, MI. Brad was in his glory putting his chain saw to work on the neglected property. They also volunteered on Middle Islands, to cut walking paths through the woods. They spent many vacation weeks on Sanibel Island, FL riding bikes, walking the beach and shell hunting. He liked plowing snow and always made sure he plowed the neighbor's driveways.
