    Chad was a lot of fun. I always think back to the middle school days when I think of Chad. He kept us entertained. Very sorry for his family and terribly sorry for his soon to be wife.

    I hate it. Chad and I played baseball together. He was the only person on the team to lift your spirits up if you were having a bad night or going through a slump. He was a team Captain!
