Walter Horner Radcliffe

What a geat guy! I can't remember not knowing Walter.....he always got the joke. can't believe he evr had an enemy and doubt he ever met a stranger. Walt used to hang with my sister and their rat pack in our basement. What a blessing to have known him, he always had something nice to say and made room for everyone. Walt made a big dent in my and I thank him for that. Pitt

It seems I have know Bird my entire life. High School, college and our careers in Lincoln. During my time at the capital, I could always trust his advice. And it was a treat watching his controlled slice on the golf course. Rest in peace, my friend. John Breslow

Bird became a member of our family when he married my sister Vickey. He always treated me like a sister. I was also privileged to "fill in" at Luedtke, Radcliffe, Gilmore, and Evans. I last saw Bird when I was teaching at LSE and he came to speak as an alum. Every once in a while, I come across the picture of my dad and Bird having a beer at our house. That was soooo many years ago, but it always brings a smile to my face. I'm sure my parents and Bird are sharing a "cold one" now!

A good friend and a great guy. And he was the man who knew the deep background for everything in the Cornhusker State.

Thank you for your Service May you be Granted an Honorable and Restful Peace

To the family and friends of Bird: My deepest sympathies to all. I first met Bird at an Interfraternity Council meeting at UNL. We represented different fraternities, and a few years later---we ran into each other at Hillcrest Country Club. I met Bird's father, and just a class family. I last saw him in the halls of Assurity Life Ins Co (my employer) a few years ago when he was attending a meeting in our old office building just north of the Nebraska Capitol. I said, "Bird," and he...

The men of the Alpha Theta Chi Chapter of Chi Phi Fraternity extend their condolences to the family of Brother Walt Radcliffe. Fraternally. Eternally

Walt was a friend and contributor to the Antelope Park Neighborhood, which was close to his home. He took the time to testify before the city council when the neighborhood was applying for an R2 zone to preserve the family character of our area. Walt was generous with his insight, experience and friendship. He did a great favor for the integrity of the area. We remain ever grateful for this wonderful man, whose good works will reap benefits for years to come.

I remember being a scared freshman in college away from Home for the first time and a new pledge in Chi Phi. Walt was our president and to me he was the epitome of a college man. Smoked a pipe, spoke intelligently with a quick wit that always made you laugh. Rest in peace, brother Walt.
