I am so sorry to hear about Mike. I worked with him at Ris/Ariva and remember how often he spoke of his son, who he was very proud of and his daughter, the ultimate Phillies fan. But he bragged the most about his precious granddaughter. Showing pictures all the time. Please know you are all in my prayers at this very difficult time. Remember the good times, I know there are plenty, and hopefully that will help you all get thru this.

So sorry for ur loss. I will never forget how Mike gave comfort to my son Matthew when he coached the Nativity CYO baseball team. Matt was the last at bat in the championship game he hit out and they lost the game. But ur Dad was there to console him.just the great kind of guy he was.

Mike Rad was good at everything. He was a good husband, father, grandfather, neighbor,and friend. He also helped coach and be a great role model to a lot of Port Richmond kids. Guys like Michael are "neighborhood guys", just a real GOOD one.
