Reply-To: "Freedom Through Vigilance Association"
With great sadness, I just learned from his widow Mitchiko that Tony
Radziminski passed away this afternoon at 3:45PM in Pittsburgh, PA. Many of
you will remember Tony as the jovial "RATSO" from USAFSS assignments at
Wakkanai, Berlin, HQ USAFSS, et al in the 1970s-80s.
Although Mitchiko did not go into any details, his passing is no doubt due to
liver failure--he had been waiting for a liver transplant at the VA hospital
in Pittsburg, but the transplant waiting list (500+ days for a liver) were
more than his weak system could stand.
Mitchiko will be asking for a military funeral. Memorial services will be
conducted in Pittsburgh; details are in the early planning stage. I just got
off the phone with Tony's brother-in-law in Pittsburgh & Tony's sister is
working out service details at present. I'll let you know when I learn more
about the plans.
Will be in touch with additional details.
RIP RATSO!
