Rest In Peace! Erv was an inspiration to many of us young fellow WAK employes and a friend to all who knew him. My memories are fond of working on his press crew. I can remember how proud he was to print one particular job, the one sheet of paper with the unique McDonalds Monoply winner on it! Thank you for being a part of my life. Robert Bob' C Malsom

So sorry to hear of EV'S passing. Carol, you and I shared a room at Columbia hospital when your Ron and my

To the Radmer family,
Chuck and I just found out about Erv passing and we are sorry that we missed his funeral. He had a wonderful personality and we were glad to have known the Radmer family while we were all members at Faith.

Dear Radmer Family,
We first met Erv and Carol at church in Mauston. Our boys were quite young then and we would usually sit a few pews ahead of them. He had a love for kids and would comment on our boys often. We then moved together to our church in Adams. He was a very special man who always made me smile. The last time I saw him, I was so impressed with him. He got himself to church on his own, driving his medical chair down sidewalks and across roads. He was very proud of his accomplishment and couldn't wait for Carol to come in and see him there as it was a surprise to her. That was the last service I'm aware of that they enjoyed together.
I am blessed to have met Erv. I of course was saddened to hear of his passing, but I know his faith was strong and I will see him again in heaven. My prayers are with you all.
Christa Wollin and Family

Uncle Erv, Not sure words can say how much you will be missed. When ever I think of you it will always bring a smile to my face. You had a way of always making me feel loved and special. May you find peace and happiness with the Lord. God Bless you. Anne

Ron, Mary , and family,,
i am so sorry for your loss.. it is so sad, Mary and I were just discussing on Tuesday how he was doing.. Gosh i have such memories of his wonderful laugh.. He was so funny at Mary's 50 birthday party.. I remember watching him play horseshoes with Rick. He always was quick with a comeback after each round.. He would walk over and give me a big hug before the match would start.. and depending on the outcome he would try to look mad if they lost or be ready to buy a drink on their victory.. please know that you are all in my prayers and thoughts.. Know that God will be with all of you as you walk thru these next days.. I pray that you will find peace in his presence . Erv is with him now and another angel that is watching over you all.

Much Love to you, Mary, and your Mom and siblings.

Sending prayers of faith and comfort to the Radmer family. I never knew him but judging by his son Ron, I am quite certain that he must have been a kind-hearted, devoted family man.
