Every now and then, I am lucky enough to leave my office. When I do, I often found myself seeing Rad around the Town of Jackson. Always conversing with someone (he prob ran into) or driving his truck to his next duty. No matter what situation, I would always roll down my window and scream “You the man Rad!” Most of the time he didn’t even know who/where it was coming from. Most likely because he gets that all the time. Although, the moment he realized it was me, he was screaming it right back and or texting me, “No, you're the man!” That is the type of guy Rad is, so humble so, so nice. Doesn’t matter if he won the super bowl or became President, in his eyes, you're the man!!! (Or woman). He thought of you just as he thought of everyone, as their best self. We can all take something from Rad, and there is many things to take, but I want to personally perceive people like Rad did, as their best selves. Rad saw the potential in everyone, and not only did he see it, he treated everyone as if they are being their best version of themselves. We aren’t all perfect, but that doesn’t mean we can’t treat each other as if we were. Rad treated everyone like that, including me, and I am forever grateful for that.
Rad, you truly are the man!!! Thank you!!!
