Dr. Dennis Radefeld was a great doctor. he saved my life a couple of times during surgery on me. He was always smiling. Treated people very well. he had gifted hands. He also did personal work by sending eyeglasses to people overseas. You are in our prayers. God bless you.

Deny,
I remember your telling me how kind and committed your dad was. How much he loved people and being able to volunteer to help others when many others his age were simply retired.
I think about all of you each time I drive on Antelope Trail or Olympia or go to church on Christmas Eve.
My family all loves you and yours.

My Condolences. You did a last minute change on how my surgery was to be preformed. For that I am very grateful you took the lymph nodes not from my neck but my arm. Found no cancer. But now we found you saved me by not taking them from the neck..I am so grateful you changed where the lymph node should be removed. R.I.P. Dr. Radefeld

Feel privileged to have known Dr. Radefeld, always a smile and a "hello" when you saw him in the halls, a gentle man and a gentleman.

Carol and Family, Our love and prayers are with you at your loss. Bud was an inspiration to us when we served with him in the Dominican Republic. He blessed many people who came to the projects for surgical care. Bud was kind, loving, humble and compassionate. He is now sitting at the feet of Jesus who is saying "Well done, good and faithful servant"

Dear Carol:
I'm very sorry to hear of your loss Carol & my loss, he was the greatest Doctor & Surgeon ever !
Back in the 1970's he saved my life a couple of times during surgery for acute pancreatitis. If someone else was my surgeon I probably would have died . My mother told me he went to the Chapel to pray for God to guide his hand before taking me to surgery ! I was in St Joseph's hospital at the time. He was a great humanitarian. He was definitely one in a million. He was remarkable man ! Our condolences to you Carol, and your family. I can't express how much I'll miss him.
I'll be praying for him & you, God Bless the both of you.
