This is a difficult tribute that is not hard to write but it saddens me to see another teammate exit the bench. It has been a while since Jack and I were together at an event but we kept an open line by E-Mail and land line. My last encounter with Radish was our tenth reunion. Never a fan of these get togethers. To sum up Jack Radochia the words quiet leader come to mind. Six years of banging heads at the West and AHS on the football field Jack quietly led by example. No screaming and yelling just do your job and play team ball. All that took place in Jacks life showed this character trait of quiet leadership. My condolences to his brother Bob, his two daughters and those three young boys Jack bragged about. Rest in peace Jackie and a big hello from Hago to Ross, Dave, Charlie, The Bun and all who played that game we loved. A Friend and Teammate, Bob Hago Harrington Hayesville, NC

I have known Jack for over 75 years, we lived across the street from each other in Arlington. As kids we played on the Mead farm with Salty Mead, Earl Foster and Phil Scanlan. Always having fun and getting into a wee bit if trouble occasionally. As we gradually separated and raised our own families we still managed to keep in touch and get together on occasions. I believe it was Jack's idea for us to get together once a year for a week or so at Phil's place on Amelia Island. We called ourselves the Pine Street Five. Phil would have each day planned with various activities, fishing, golfing, bowling, walks on the beach, playing pool, Bocce, bowling, etc. Each day would be closed with a nice dinner at one of the local restaurants. We really enjoyed these annual trips, probably totaling more that eight. As the years passed the physical ailments started settling in and we stopped our trips to Phil's settling for an occasional get together when Phil came north. The Pine Street Five dwindled in number quickly with Phil passing in 2020, Earl and Salty in 2023 and now Jackie in 2024. I am the only one left and will miss the calls and visits Jack and I had as he failed. He was a great person and always put others first. Rest in Peace Jack and one of these days we can have a Pine Street Five reunion. Love you Joe Rollins
