Editor’s note: Brad Stroud of Yorkton may not have run an oil company, or invented some new device or process. He was a humble man who was a blue collar worker all his life, much of it spent in the oilpatch, working on the Regina upgrader, numerous pipelines, services rigs, cranes, and the Fort McMurray oilsands. He was a generous man, whose Christian faith led him to help others in need, anonymously but generously.

Without him, Pipeline Online would not exist.
