My dear Jeanne, Janice and the entire family, you are all in my thoughts and prayers during this time of sorrow. I feel blessed to have known him even for the short period of time I had the privilege to spend some afternoons talking about their RV adventures and building the log home. A sweet man. He will be missed.

So sad to hear about the passing of this dear sweet man. He was such a delete to be around , always had a smile and a man who really loved life! That is for sure. Loved his children,grandchildren and great grandchildren. He loved New Hampshire but also going in their RV down to Florida for the cold months in the winter. He made traveling an adventure that’s for sure. I know he will be deeply missed but never forgotten by his friends and family. God Bless all the Radcliffe family.
