RADIGAN, CHARLES THOMAS Charles Thomas Radigan of Connersville, IN was the son of Lucy Hudson/Radigan and Robert B Radigan. He was 92 years old. He went to be with the Lord on Wednesday, April 9, 2014. He was known as "Chuck" to those who loved him and called him friend. He married our mom, Roberta Rand of Rising Sun, IN in 1944. They were perfectly matched. They complimented each other in a way that two halves come together to make a whole. Their wonderful union of 69 years produced four children, all of who are married with children of their own. Their oldest son is Mike and is married to Celine. Their second son is Steve who is married to Linda. Their third son is Tom who is married to Sandy and their only daughter, (mom's salvation from the boys) is Kerry who is married to Dennis Miller. These children have followed in their parents' footsteps and produced 11 grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren. Dad was blessed to hold the latest of those in his arms just a couple of weeks before he passed away. Dad also had a sister, Frieda Colley of Lafayette, Indiana. He had two brothers, Bernard and Fredrick Radigan. Dad was a conservative man. He was a man of high morals. If you spent time with Dad you would find out quickly he was quiet, patient and kind. He was a man who measured his words. Many of our fond memories of Dad come from time spent together fishing and being outdoors. It was always obvious that Dad loved his family. He was a wonderful example of a man who took care of his family, shouldered responsibility, lived by example and was modest. Dad moved the family to Albuquerque in 1956 and took a job as a draftsman with Sandia Laboratories. He worked for the labs for 35 years and then retired. He and mom attended Grace Church and enjoyed retirement for many years. Dad, we love you. We cannot think of a more blessed and fortunate family than we have had. And that was because of your presence, your love, affection for us and your character. Thank you Dad. We love you. We will remember Dad on Monday, April 14, 2014 at 2:00 p.m. at FRENCH Wyoming. There will be a reception following. Please visit our online guestbook for Charles at www.FrenchFunerals.com FRENCH Wyoming 7121 Wyoming Blvd. NE (505) 823-9400
