My firefighter, James V. Radford, also known as “Monk,” was a loving husband, Daddy, and Papa.

He enjoyed lawn mower pulling, because it involved family and friends being together. He had a golf cart that he enjoyed, with lights, a horn, music, and fire stickers on it. It was like a fire engine golf cart.

He retired from the Fremont Fire Department, where he served as a lieutenant and safety officer. At the time of his death, he was serving as chief of the Polly Watson Volunteer Fire Department.

He enjoyed being on the fire department and learning all he could. He didn’t finish school, so learning and getting certificates was an important thing for him.

I have to mention our Khloe, our dog that he loved very much.

Until we meet again, I love you always and forever.
