Marian and family :

Just heard the sad news , God bless your family and you .

Coach loved me from the first day he saw me as a freshman.He gave me every chance and I disappointed him as a football player. Sorry to say ! But track and Field was another story . We won the W.P.I.A.L championship in 1963 at Brentwood and I know he was finally happy with me.

My deepest condolences to all of the Radosevich family.

Coach Radosevich made a very major difference in my life. The lessons I learned from him have been significant as I grew from a boy to a man and have helped me throughout my entire life.

I am proud to have been one of his "kids" and I will always carry his memory with me.

God rest his soul.

Marian: May God's peace and abiding love sustain you throughout the days, weeks and years to come. George was a ardent witness to his living faith and his love for you and your children. Sue & I have been blest by his friendship and witness. Love, Sue & Gil Fitzsimmons (Brentwood Presbyterian Church).

My condolences to Mrs. Radosevich and family for your loss.

Coach Radosevich was instrumental in helping boys to become men and gentlemen. He taught character, toughness and to never give up. Even though I didn't play football, I often think of him ( and Coach Douglass) and their influence still felt so many decades later.
The world has lost a good man. I will always carry with me a little motavational challenge Coach Radosevich gave me regarding basketball at the end of my junior year.
He made the world a better place.
God Rest His Soul and may the family find Solace in Their Loss.

Condolences to the family. George was a favorite "pal" of my dad's (Bill Douglass) I know as both coaches and fathers, they both helped many young people be better adults. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I graduated from Brentwood High in 1959. George was my football coach. He became friends with my parents, and he and Marian often went out to dinner with my Mom and Dad. My folks always talked about what a nice couple they were. There were several teachers at BHS that had a positive influence on my life. George was definitely one of them. I will remember the family in my prayers.

I remember George as the football coach at Brentwood High. I was the editor of the South Hills Record and, besides high school football, we talked about his years with the Baltimore Colts. He had the feeling that he quit pro football too soon. He told me "If the Colts get into the playoffs, I'll take gas." Gladly he didn't. We'll miss you George.....Paul (Bucky) Harrison

Sorry to hear of George's death and my condolences to Marian and the family. George was a great person, father, teacher and coach. I taught and coached with George at Brentwood in Track & Field and he helped and influenced me in many ways and still does to this day. It was nice to have known him and learn from him.

George Radosevich was an admirable teacher and coach with exceptional wit-a perfect foil for me in junior high and high school.
The world is a less clever place with him gone.
