In Memoriam
Fred Radner
It is with profound sadness and deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Fred Radner. Fred leaves a legacy of love for his family but is also defined by his willingness to help others through his unwavering dedication to our industry. As an electrical tradesman, electrical contractor and electrical inspector, his passion for the industry was always shown in his attention to detail and his quest for knowledge. Fred served as the electrical inspector for Bloomfield Township for many years and when called upon also worked in Ferndale, Novi and Birmingham, Michigan. In addition, Fred dedicated his time in support of the electrical industry by serving on the Board of The Reciprocal Electrical Council of Michigan for many years. His dedication to the industry, knowledge, warm smile and contagious laughter will be missed.
