Bradley Dack
I got a text message today from Brad Dack, a former San Jose Bible College classmate, asking me to call him. We have not spoken to one another in approximately 30 years since we were on staff at Heavenly Hill Christian Camp. The text was a surprise and I quickly called him. I didn’t ask, but I presume he got my number from another classmate, Lee Roberts. Brad explained he is going up to Yosemite this coming weekend with three men he knew at SJBC and he wants to park his car at my house on Friday while he’s gone. He said Lee would pick him up here to continue the journey. He stated that he gets tired easily because he has pancreatic cancer. Brad said, “Finding out I have cancer was as surprising as an earthquake.” We chatted for a bit about this and that. I asked him if he had heard about the “surprising” event that Linda and I had in June 2012 when Daniel died. He said he had not and expressed his sympathy. He then related that he had also lost his son to Muscular Dystrophy so
