Brad Hurd's guestbook at http://www.legacy.com/gb2/default.aspx?bookID=193402831625 July 06, 2009 Brad was a fine pilot and an expert at whatever task he might have chosen. One task that sticks in my mind was a ride in his Porche along I-70 east from the ALPA Office to the FAL hanger. We were really moving and I glanced at the speedometer and it read 110 mph. And then he shifted to top gear. I'm sure we'd have gone faster but our exit was approaching rapidly. When we got to the hanger a rear tire was nearly flat. Last time I rode with Brad! To Denice and the family: Our most sincere condolences. We all know what trying times you've been through and we also hope for happy days ahead. We will all miss his happy disposition and his smiles in the crewroom. To Brad, slow down and enjoy the scenery on your trip West. Frosty ~ Jack Frost, Camdenton, Missouri July 05, 2009 My condolences to everyone. Brad was truly a great guy, and I know you miss him terribly. I have really fond memories of our families getting together when we were growing up in Denver and our Dad's telling great stories of their adventures together (remember the backyard carnival? and putting Jeff in the dryer? And your Dad steadying my broken leg driving from Breckenridge to Frisco during a huge blizzard). I know Brad and my Dad are up there laughing and toasting each other. To two of the greatest pilots ever.... Kim Aposporos- Bob Perry's daughter. ~ Kim Aposporos, San Diego, California July 05, 2009 Brad was always smiling and a wonderful friend. He and his wife Denise attended the 2008 Frontier Reunion held in Chandler Desert Breeze Park. It was great to see them and never thought it would be the last. He will be with us in Spirit and will be missed by his family and friends. May he rest in Peace. ~ Ginger Treptow, Gilbert, Arizona July 05, 2009 Captain Brad Hurd will live forever in the memories and hearts of all who knew him. He was an extraordinary aviator and a rare kind of friend that will never be replaced or duplicated. Bradley, God speed on your Westbound flight.... you are cleared direct, block altitude surface to the heavens, speed your discretion. Denise....May God bless and comfort you and the family through these most difficult times. ~ Jack Gibson, Clayton, North Carolina July 05, 2009 The likes of Captain Brad Hurd will never pass this way again. It's so difficult to say goodbye to such an extraordinary aviator who was also such a special friend. Bradley, you will never be forgotten by all who knew you. God speed Westbound! Denise, everyone's thoughts and prayers are with you, Brian and the rest of the family. ~ Jack Gibson, Clayton, North Carolina July 05, 2009 Many fond memories of Brad coming through Casper, Williston and Pueblo. He was always freindly and cheerful. A tough loss to those who knew him. ~ Ivan Newell, Vancouver, Washington July 05, 2009 All of us, friends, family & neighbors have been blessed knowing Brad. He was someone very special. Knowing he has Flown West is difficult... We'll think of him soaring thru smooth air with warm-soft tailwinds and a bright star to steer by on his final earthly flight. ~ Billy & Cheryl Walker, Ahwatukee, Arizona July 05, 2009 All Brad's many friends at the old Frontier Airlines are saddened by his passing. Our condolences to his family. ~ Jake Lamkins, Fayetteville, Arkansas |
