[QUOTE="Jack4343, post: 336360, member: 7328"] Sad story. I don't know the whole details but he drowned after falling off his jet-ski at Lake Lanier. His name is Broderick and he's in the North center of the P-Dale hub. Talked with him many times even though we were in different centers in our hub. I covered a route two years ago for about a year and his route was next to mine. He did pickups in areas that I delivered in. He was a real nice guy and he will be missed by all of us at P-Dale. RIP Broderick. PS. The reports states that they are still looking for his body. His body has now been found. One of his friends (and driver in my center) had to go and ID his body this afternoon. Sheriff's office IDs possible drowning victim Ellenwood man fell from personal watercraft [IMG]http://media.morristechnology.com/mediafilesvr/upload/gainesville/article/0506drown1.jpg[/IMG] Hall County Sheriff's Office dive team members Joe Carter, left, and Cory Gilleland pull on the line connected to a sonar unit as they search for a drowning victim Broderick Bradford near Aqualand Marina on Monday. [B]TOM REED[/B] (The Times) [B]By Harris Blackwood and Ashley Fielding[/B] POSTED May 5, 2008 3:31 p.m. Members of the Hall County Sheriff's Office Dive Team are searching near the boat ramp at Aqualand Marina for a 46-year-old Ellenwood man who fell from a personal watercraft and is presumed drowned. Maj. Jeff Strickland said the victim, Broderick Bradford, 46, was not wearing a life jacket when the incident occurred sometime before 7 p.m. Sunday. Johnson was operating a jet ski when it overturned. As he was trying to get back on the device, Johnson disappeared under water and did not resurface, according to the Sheriff's Office. Johnson was not wearing a life jacket at the time. A passenger, who was wearing a flotation device, was not injured. Officers are using a sonar device to search for the man. Members of the Hall County Fire Services dive team searched until dark on Sunday in water that is approximately 60 feet deep, Strickland said. The search resumed at 8 a.m. today.
