Not sure what to say?

Father Radloff left an impression. He did the "leap of faith" thing from the podium on us in 1987 too... thought he lost his mind... but it turned out to be one of the greatest moments of my education and a cornerstone of my understanding of what it takes to be a Man for Others.

Tom Radloff changed my life. I showed up at U of D High in 1963, not really sure how I had arrived at such an intimidating and "torturous" place. Who would do such a thing voluntarily?

Sorry for your loss, may all those mourning seek refuge and find peace in the god of all comfort.

We want to thank Fr. Tom for renewing our Wedding Vows in Alaska in 2016. He was so kind and sweet and funny. It was a pure pleasure knowing him, even though we didnt know him that long. God bless you dear Father Tom.

Good stuff.
