I was blessed with the opportunity to start out my Transit Career with Michael Rademacher. I learned a lot from Mike, and I will always treasure the fond memories we had over the years.
"There are some who bring a light so great to the world that even after they have gone, the light remains." May you always keep the light in your hears. God Bless you and his wonderful daughter's that he always talked about. He was so proud of his family!

Mike will always be remembered for his Turkey Fry at our location when he was GM. He sat out in the shop and fried 5 or 6 turkeys for all the employees for our annual Holiday feast. We are all deeply saddened by his passing. We are keeping you all in our hearts and prayers during this difficult time.
