Predeceased by his parents, Richard and Marlene Blow of Old Orchard Beach, Brad is survived by two daughters, Victoria Blow of Portland and Stephanie Blow of Hollis; his brother Joel Blow of Old Orchard Beach; and three sisters Sarah Oliveira of Hollis Center, Jennifer Freeman of Leesburg, Florida and Susan Iverson of Leesburg, Florida.
Brad was born Dec 21, 1965, the fourth son and fifth child of Richard and Marlene. He was a devoted son, dedicated brother and adoring father. A construction worker most of his life, Brad enjoyed learning and knowing how things were put together (and taken apart). He was someone to whom everyone could turn for help. He was quick with his humor, his wit, his wisdom and his friendship.
A graduate of Husson College, Brad studied and loved computers. He grew up on Smith Wheel Road in Old Orchard Beach among a multitude of cousins, aunt and uncles, climbing trees, snowmobiling, hunting and fishing. His favorite thing to do was spend time with his daughters and family. He was particularly close to two cousins: Brian Blow of Clinton and Eric Blow of Saco.
A gathering of family and friends is to be held Saturday, April 14 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 318 Little Falls Road, Hollis Center and is pot luck.
