Our sympathies to the entire Radalia family. Frank was such a hard working, kind hearted, family man, who always had a smile and something nice to say to me. Admirable traits that I see in the whole Radalia family. I am so sorry for your loss.

Dear Pauline & Family, I am so sorry to hear the passing of Frank. My family just loved him so much. Frank worked with my dad at Republic Steel and whenever Frank or my dad had projects outside of work-they were always there for each other. Growing up I will always remember Frank making me laugh and he was a wonderful man and friend to our family. God must have needed another angel with him-so he picked Frank. He truly was an angel on earth too. You have my sympathy as I lost my dad in 1987 and I always smile when I think of dad and Frank.
