Triad Financial Services, Inc. informs us that Jim Brand, Houston-based regional manager for the manufactured housing lender, passed away March 9 after a brief battle with cancer. With Triad since 2005, Jim previously worked for Associates Housing Finance as Sales Purchase Office Manager. Blessed with good humor and an infectious laugh, Anthony Glass, vice-president at Triad’s corporate office in Jacksonville, Florida, said Jim always had a funny story to go along with any problem he encountered. We at MHProNews offer our sincerest condolences to his wife, children, and grandchildren in this time of sorrow.
