Brad Sullivan
First, I want to thank you for contributing to Wikipedia, and especially to the article about Brad. Second, I want to say I knew him, too, from when he lived on W. 96th Street and had a little Boston terrier and worked out at the Paris Gym a couple blocks away. I liked him enormously. And third, I need to explain why I removed any mention of his death locale. Wikipedia's core policy is WP:VERIFY, which means that everything has to be cited to a reliable source, published either online or in a book, newspaper, etc. Wikipedia can't ever use anything claimed as personal knowledge, since there's no way to independently verify such claims. As it happened, the New York City claim wasn't cited either, it should not have been there. I would say that if there is an obituary anywhere stating Glastonbury, that we could cite that.

By the way, is this the same Brad Sullivan, in Bruno Kirby's obituary? --Tenebrae (talk) 23:51, 21 December 2017 (UTC)
