Our sympathies and love and prayers for Uncle Jerry

He was a wonderful witness to us all

We love you all and wish we could be together with you at this time

Bill and Eileen Keck and family

My Grandpa was a true person to look up to. I can remember the ride to Grandpa and Grandmas house every time. I would sit and wiggle asking, "are we there yet." I cherish the memories we spent with him. I remember all grand kids cruising the main street in his El Camino with a stop at Braums. We rode the lawnmower around the block(around and around we went.) The gas used but he never minded. We had so many family dinners in which he always prepared great homemade ice cream and watermelon. I always felt safe and carefree at their house. They always welcomed family, friends and strays with open arms. When I think of him, I think the word "love." He is a true hero. May he rest in peace.

My Uncle, Jarrette Radebaugh, was a man that you don't find to many of any more. As a teenager I went out to Oklahoma and it was there that my uncle would "mentor" me on life and how a man should conduct himself. He did this not only by words but by me watching him. He led by example. By deeds. He would first tell me, then by his day to day life, show me how a man and eventually a husband would put his family first. During my 4 summers out in Henryetta, traveling between jobsites, he would talk of the responsibility of being a good husband and of being first a good father and then a good grandfather. I can testify that he loved his wife, my Aunt Henoveva, his 3 children and their spouses and all of his grandchildren, more than his own life. Next to my own father, I loved and respected this man more than any other. Uncle Jerry, some of my fondest memories will always be of the times I spent with you and with all of my Oklahoma extended family. You will always be in my heart.
