Mr. Radley was a great guy to work with. He loved his family, loved his job and loved to laugh and poke fun. "Rat Man" (as he was dubbed during his Refueling days), was always talking about his wife and kids. He always asked me about my son Bobby. His sense of humor helped make long days in RF more bearable. He will be missed. My condolences to his family.

Mr.Radley was a pleasure to work with. He always had a good attitude towards all people no matter who you were. May the Lord comfort his family at this time and may they come to know Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour.
