My deepest sympathy to the family. With love from a fellow longshoreman, Rex Beum (aka "Herc" or "Hercules").

Thank you Coach Joe for making me the man I am today. I remember as a junior at Mary Star he made me the trainer to our team and would lend me his Volkswagen station wagon to go pick up Gatorade for our team for game day. One time he let me drive his beloved pickup truck and I was in heaven. I will always miss you and my sincere prayers to Francis and Joey. You are in my hearts always Keep safe and I love you guys. He was like my second dad

Coach Radisich was the line football coach for the last football season of Fermin Lasuen High School's existence. He was my line Coach and I remember him as one who respected his players as young men, imparted his knowledge of football to us and always maintained a Coach-Players relationship. What more could an athlete ask for. Thanks Coach and deepest sympathies to Frances and family.

BIg kAhUNA... I remember the PEDRO surf crew you formed in the 60's. We were shooting the curl at Flatrock cove in Palos verses and I was hot dogging a wave and jumped on your board for a tandem ride to shore, you got a kick out of that. We surfed from Santa Cruz to San Diego with Bill and Allan, those were some great years. So glad we have kept in touch all these years since then. Our sincerest condolences to Frances and your family. Shaka bra bro, love you, will miss you.

Deepest condolences to the family. Always appreciated his patience when going over plays after a Fermin game. The type person that gave so many precious memories to so many of us. A great guy, coach and a respected member of our community.

My deepest condolences to the Radisich Family. Rest In Peace Coach, and thank you for the great memories and years, during a special time at Mary Star.

Joe was a great coach for sure, but more than that he was a wonderful husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle and friend. During his time coaching at Mary Star, Joe brought much of San Pedro alive. His brilliance on the field was matched by the heart of a good and decent man who was always true to himself. My deepest condolences to Frances, Kathy, Joey, the Bradarich family, his former players, and all who were touched and inspired by Joe.
