Walt Radke

My condolences to Walt's family,
I will always remember Walt as a very fine man that had a good word for everyone. A great memory was when my Dad Charles took me down to Radke's to watch TV in the evening(a private showing) before Dad bought the Sparten console black and white.

My family turned to both Walt and Ernie for...

Wendy,
It's been so many years and it's sad knowing the death of your dear dad prompts a contact with you. You're in my prayers, and hopefully you can wrap yourself in the comfort of wonderful memories.

Wendy and Steve,
My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. It's never easy to lose a parent.

Selma,Steve & Wendy,
I have so many good memories of Walt. Selma and Walt were the best neighbors. Stacia and I always enjoyed going to the Radke's. I too, remember Buffer the dog going down the slide. May God bless each of you during this time.

I visited Walt with my Mother in Emmett just 3 months ago and had a delightful visit with him. He was always kind enough to remember me as Wendy's childhood friend. He was a warm and friendly person who always made me feel important. Love to Selma, Wendy, and Steve.

My thoughts and prayers are with you for your loss of Walt.
