at,
There´s no good place to start this, so I´ll just begin with the earliest thing I can remember.
Way back when-when I was four or five, and you were nine or ten-Mom and Dad would have us get dressed up every Sunday morning, pile the three of us into the back seat of the old blue-and-white Chevy, and drive us off to Sunday mass. It seemed like it would always be that way. Nothing would ever change. Of course, it did.
When I was maybe five, you started teaching me board games like Life and Monopoly, and I can still remember playing them with you at the dining room table. You also taught me how to play chess. You were a good teacher. I just wasn´t much of a student.
We also played badminton in the backyard and shot hoops after Dad set up the backboard and rim behind the garage.
You loved musicians and groups like The Fifth Dimension, The Association, and Chad & Jeremy. I can remember you taking guitar lessons and practicing songs like Bob Dylan´s Don´t Think Twice It´s All Right and Simon & Garfunkel´s Feelin´ Groovy.
You were thrilled when you saw Hello Dolly on Broadway with Pearl Bailey in the lead role. You couldn´t rave about her enough.
You also loved watching The Patty Duke Show and Carol Burnett, and then there were the medical shows like Dr. Kildare and Marcus Welby. I don´t know if that´s what sparked your interest in medicine. Maybe you had that interest all along. Maybe it had to do with Mom being a nurse, and you just wanted to follow her and then go her one better.
I remember how much you enjoyed tennis players like Billie Jean King when she was in her prime and Chris Evert when she was still the up-and-coming new sensation.
You were first in everything, and Peg was right. We were all proud of everything you accomplished. Dad was thrilled with each of your accomplishments. You were first in your class when you graduated eighth grade, valedictorian in high school, and valedictorian in college. I remember the speech you gave as your valedictorian´s address at your high school graduation-"Then, There Is Technology" was the title. You were ahead of your time and prescient at an early age.
I can remember how much you read, how widely you read. You absorbed everything. When I started reading Kurt Vonnegut on my own, I figured he must be a good writer because you had read all his novels.
Then there were the long rides up to Canton, NY, while you were at St. Lawrence. They were followed by the drives into Brooklyn on Sunday evenings to drop you off at Downstate and on Friday evenings to pick you up and bring you home for the weekend.
You came to my rescue more than once. You were home from your freshman year in college and quickly recognized that everything up I´d been taught that year in Algebra had simply gone in one ear and out the other. The night before the final exam, you spent three or four hours teaching me what I should have known already. You saved me from a disaster.
You were the smartest person at everything you did. You just always knew a better, faster, smarter way to do everything. You never bragged. You never boasted. You were just confident. You were just... You were always the smartest person in every room you entered the instant you walked in.
I always knew you were far in front of me, headed in a direction that was invariably the best way to get there. I was never quite up to following your exact footsteps.
I could always feel you as if you were just over my shoulder, ready to remind me, if I´d only had the sense to ask and listen that whatever I was doing, however I was doing it, you could tell me a better, smarter, faster way to do it.
I can´t ask you any more. I wish I could.
I feel your loss.
Yesterday I looked at the picture of the eight cousins with Nana and Pop-Pop Izzo. The picture was probably taken the summer of 1959-you were maybe six. I was less than a year. We were still at the start of this journey, and now your part of this journey has taken a new turn.
All I can do now is pray that you´ve found the peace you´ve earned and be thankful I was there for a part of your time in this world.
I love you Pat, and I´ve loved being your brother.
You´ll live on in my heart.
Joe

My sister-in-law, Dr. Patricia Radigan, was such an accomplished and impressive woman who touched so many people in her life. But what will always stand out to me is how much she absolutely adored her children, Matt and Danny.
You could see it on her face every time she spoke of them or looked at them. It was truly beautiful, and something I have always admired about her.

Dr. Radigan was a wonderful physician who cared for this 20 year service veteran. She helped me get the mental health care I needed. Rest in peace Dr. Radigan.

Dr Radigan was my doctor for over 20 years and I loved her. When my mom died in 2018 she was a great comfort to me. She will be sadly missed. I love you Dr Radigan. Thank you for always being there.
