Mr. Rader leaves wonderful memo-

and walking with kings." His huge heart
allowed him to embrace everyone he
touched. His simplicity, warmth, and
legendary zest for life were contagious.
His passions included his family,
friends, work, exercise, eating, reading,
crossword puzzles and watching news
programs. The Raders were legend-
ary hosts and loved the company of
family and friends. Their home on Old
Colony Dr. was their "PinkPalace" where
for years people enjoyed their terrific
hospitality. They opened their home to
numerous Jewish charities.
Mr. Rader was a wonderful husband
and father, who loved and adored his
family. His memory will be cherished
by all who knew him.
