THOMAS F., age 72, formerly of Baltimore, Maryland, moved on to a better life on Tuesday, November 5, 2002.

He spent one year working for the French Space Research Agency then another 15 years working for IBM France as an electrical engineer. Tom was a devoted, loving and generous father. He is survived by his three children, Mark Radecke of Charlotte, NC; Carl Radecke of Inver Grove Heights, MN; and Kristine Aubrey of Singapore; and his seven grandchildren.
