I did not know Mr. Radice very well---I believe one of his sons attended Chenango Forks with my sister, Lisa---but I do recall meeting him at a number of open houses at the school. I remember him just as the obituary described: a humble, gentle, and kind man. May the love of God, the grace of the Lord Jesus, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with your family at this time.

John was one of the most pleasant and talented engineers I have ever worked with. He had a way of putting people at ease in a fast paced, pressure environment. Too bad this world does not have more people like John.

Mrs. Radice, John and Jason,
We were shocked and saddened to hear about the loss of your husband and father. He was as you know a quiet and unassuming man, all who knew or met him walked away impressed by his humility and quiet dignity. He was good, decent man whose presence on Earth will be sorely missed, but whose spirit in Heaven will enrich those around him as it did on Earth. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, may God bless you as John did all those who were priveleged to know him.

Our prayers and thoughts are with you all and hope your memories of good times will help all of you through this difficult time. Our sincere sympathy , susie and dave vanderburg
