Jack of all my brother-in-laws you came at the drop of a hat to help me with the Big “O” when he got sick. You took him to the doctors and I to the store and to work and when I needed the help you were there. I do not know what I would have done without you. I will always remember the card games and having a beer with you. You are with the rest of the Radders and Cadys having lots to talk about. I will miss you very much, give Orrie, hug for me, and tell him I love and miss him.
You are in my thoughts and heart.
Love,
Bill aka Billy Radder

"Uncle Jack" was my uncle, my godfather who turned into my friend, my surrogate father and my mentor. He allowed me the privilege of being a kid, while teaching me to be an adult, even at 33. He supported me no matter what.
While visiting AZ we spent many hours in my service truck. He actually pointed out some things I could do better. He was my best mentor and advocate.
We also spent many hours at the race track. We both loved dirt track racing. I loved the stories he used to tell about prepping cars for the track. My love of cars, my diligence of maintaining them, and my ability to weld with a coat hanger
all came from Uncle Jack.
I learned respect from Aunt Dorothy & Uncle jack because the rules were the same, no matter whose house you were at,(even though Uncle Warren was left handed and color blind).
I thank all the Cady family for sharing your dad with me.
P.S Thanks Uncle jack for helping me "surprise" Randy all those times.

I first met "Uncle Jack in 1971. Even though it was a difficult time for him, I found him to be a very gracious man, with a good sense of humor and the ability to tell a
good story. In the years following that, I got to know him better as he used to come to AZ in the winter.
One thing I'll always remember was his
respect for women. This was evident in any conversation or story he was telling. He passed this on to his sons and daughters. Another thing I respect was his positive attitude on life. No matter what, he could find the positive, and pass it on to others. What a great outlook on
life. I will miss him

An almost permanent entry in my little family record is COUSIN ART. Our very recent experiences at the Cady Reunion in lovely Sardinia Park and the numerous visits with "ART" at the casa in Delevan will not be soon forgotten.
His "buddy" relationshiip with the man i refer to as "the old grey fox" is now all the more special to me.
Finally your family UNIT and all that means will last me until, some day down the road, i might be fortunate enough to join "cousin Art", "the old grey fox", our little Ruthie girl" and all those others enjoying eternity together will sustain me for such a long time.

There is a saying that says "The greatest gift a father can give his children is to love their mother" . There was never a day that any of your children doubted how much you loved our mother. She left all of us too soon but as you continued to live we were still secure in your love of Mom, your faith, and the wonderful example you set for us to follow as we age. Your humor, grace facing illness, still wanting to learn more each day will be tough to follow. I am thankful knowing you are together in peace and for the loving brothers and sisters you gave to me. Your daughter, Marie

I'm not sure I can say anything that has not already been said. I will miss his stories, all of them true. When I think of someone that stuck to his guns, regardless of the cost to himself, that was my Grandpa Jack. I really wish I could be there to sing at the funeral, but I will sing today for you, Grandpa. Give Jesus and Grandma Cady a hug for me.

Grandpa Jack (or Papa Jack as Gabriel calls him) was by far one of the strongest men I have ever had the honor of knowing. Not just strong physically but ethically, morally and spiritually. I have always been and always will be stronger for knowing him as the great man that he was. Although we spent a great amount of time together I still feel a great loss with his passing. I struggle with all of our sorrow and grief amidst knowing that he is now free from the pain, the blindness and is with Grandma Dorothy. I will miss asking his sage and helpful advice on all of life's dilemma's. His humor was next to none. I think often of all of his stories. I have so many favorites but the one where he saw Grandma the first time, the ax in his helmet, leaving his family to pursue a better life, these are just a few. I always admired the courage, conviction and faith he had to make the decision to start a new life. It's what drove him to be a great man, husband, father, grandfather, firefighter, mechanic and "jack" of all trades. I will miss you deeply Grandpa Jack.

To My Cady Cousins,
My thoughts and prays are with you at the difficult time. My first thought on Uncle Jack when I received the news was the time we spend on Maple Street and going out the country in Chafee. He worked at one of the station on my way home from school when we lived in Buffalo and I would stop to see him. The card games our parents used to have and the fun of visiting with the cousins. I remember what he did to my Frankie when he found out he played with matches let me just say he did not play with matches again. I know what it like is to lose a loved one and a father. Uncle Jack was a comfort for Mom, Bill and I when our father passed. He stayed in Phoenix to make sure my mom was doing fine before he left. I have other memories but I want to keep them just for me, I hope you do not mind. He is with Aunt Dorothy and the rest of the Radder and Cady’s. and with my Frankie. He was a great man and I will miss him as much as I miss my dad and my son. I love you all and very much.
Love your cousin

I am sure we can all recall our favorite stories, and upon reflection I would guess that many of the stories were not specifically about the man himself, but of his Uncle, or children, or fellow firemen. They had great settings, a racetrack, burning building, or for us grandchildren, a house on Maple Street we have only ever imagined or seen in faded photos. He brought us closer to his life, our parents and each other. A great man inspires through the smallest of actions, the actions that add up to express love and a love of life. Grandpa Jack did one of the bravest things a person can do. He turned his life around at an early age, took responsibility for himself, and spread love into the world through his family. Let's keep telling his stories to our children, and care for each other with him in our hearts.

To all my family and friends of Grampa Jack-all who knew him knows what a unique and loving person Gramps was. He could spin a story with the best. Anytime I listened to him talk I was enthralled and the best part of all was that his stories were all true. Gramps taught all of us that family is important and he was truely a man who lived what he preached. He never asked anything of you that he would not do himself. I am saddened by the loss and grateful for all years I was given.
Love,
Colleen, Walt, Raist & Perrin

To all my family and friends of Gramps: Anyone who knew "Grampa Jack" knew what a unique and loving person he was. He could spin a tale as no other. When Gramps was telling a story you found yourself enthralled and waiting to see what would happen next. The best part of all was with the amazing stories were all true. My grandfather was a very kind and loving man who believed that family was everything. He had so many grandchildren but made each of us feel special to him. I will miss him very much and am saddened that my children will miss getting to know him. Prayers and hugs to all.

A Fireman's Prayer
When I am called to duty, God,
Whenever flames may rage;
Give me strength to save some life,
Whatever be its age.
Help me embrace a little child
Before it is too late
Or save an older person
From the horror of that fate.
Enable me to be alert
And hear the weakest shout,
And quickly and efficiently
To put the fire out.
I want to fill my calling
And to give the best in me
To guard my every neighbor
And protect his property.
And if, according to my fate,
I am to lose my life,
Please bless with your protecting
My children and my wife.
You are still an inspriation Uncle Jack,
