Robert Bruce Radford, age 77, was warmly welcomed home by his youngest daughter, who preceded him in death in June of 2003. Robert peacefully entered into rest, in his home with his oldest daughter by his side on January 7th, 2021.
Robert was an amazing artist, even though he hasn't drawn or painted in many years. He was an Air Force Reservist when he was younger. Robert was married for over 15 years to Anita Robertson (Brooks) & had two daughters.
Robert’s first love was his family, and he was always there for any of them. No matter what! Robert was always eager to help anyone that needed him. He was always there to lend a hand to those who needed it. He was a wonderful father to Tracy & Tanya, but had enough love to share with anyone else that needed a temporary farther figure.
His second love was cars, and he spent most of his career around cars. He loved his Mazda RX7 so much that he once said he wanted to be buried in it, but that was before he found out how much the cemetery property cost.
Robert enjoyed going to the beach, but those of you who really know him realize it mostly just to look at the bikinis. He was very funny and forever always joking around. You never knew if he was telling the truth or just messing with you. He told his oldest daughter that he was from the planet Pluto when she was little & she believed that until she was about 12 years old. That’s who he was!
Robert is survived by his oldest daughter Tracy McCormack (James); sister Sharon Budzise, brother Ronald Radford (Marga); nieces & nephews Sheila Budzise, Teresa Lee (Randy), Tina Weaver (Tim), Christopher Budzise (Jon), Monica Lee & Melissa Lee & honorary grandsons Austin Lee and Preston Lee.
Robert was preceded in death by youngest daughter Tanya Radford; father Julian Radford and mother Dorothy Radford; youngest sister Sandra Lee.
The family would like to heartfully thank cousins Jean Tompkins and Rena Jackson for so lovingly taking care of Robert over the last month like he was their family. Both ladies will always have a special place in our hearts.
