My deepest condolences over the loss of Mr. Radtke. I had the pleasure of knowing both Robert and Carol when I was a child growing up in Glenwood. Bobby and I were on the same baseball team when I was 8-10 years old. Since that time, I unfortunately lost touch with the Radtke's. However, I wanted to share my impressions of the Mr. and Mrs. Radtke (Carol and Bob) They adored each other and they adored Bobby. They were in the stands every game glowing with the love for their family. Both Bob and Carol were friends to all with a humble kindness. Its amazing how someone can touch your life even if you know them for a brief time. A wonderful couple. Bob and Carol will always be with those that they touched and loved.
May perpetual light and salvation shine upon them.
