   Such a hard loss. He was such a positive influence on our lives in this very short time we knew him. Every morning and every evening we enjoyed his smile and wave as we passed his bus. Heaven definitely gained an angel.

   Our heartfelt condolences to the Radle family. Dennis drove my son's school bus and Logan looked forward to seeing him every day. They were always joking around, and Logan loved that Dennis knew about Pokemon. We so appreciated Dennis and knew that the kids were always in good hands with him.
