One of the homes that Brad purchased was occupied by a man in his nineties who had recently been widowed.
“He was very, very kind to the husband. His wife passed away and the husband, John, lived there,” she continued. “I know that Brad allowed him to live there without paying anything until he died. It was kind of funny because John lived to be 105.”
