Harry John Rademaker

Harry was a proud lifelong resident of St. Clair Shores, Michigan, whose life was marked by his passion for all things electrical and his unwavering commitment to the craft he loved. Harry dedicated himself not only to his work but also to fostering strong bonds with those around him.

Harry’s lifelong fascination with electricity was evident in everything he did. Whether he was meticulously working on a project or lending his expertise to help fix a problem, his skills and passion shone brightly. His friends, family, and neighbors knew him as the person to call when something needed fixing—a true craftsman whose love for his work was matched only by his generosity and readiness to lend a hand.

Beyond his professional achievements, Harry found happiness in the simple pleasures of life. He treasured the joyful moments spent at his home on Lake Ogemaw, where he would relax and unwind, soaking in the beauty of nature. His love of the outdoors extended to boating and the golf course, where many fond memories were made during rounds of golf, often accompanied by a cold Miller Lite and lively conversation with friends.

Harry’s legacy is one of dedication, warmth, and unwavering support. He was not only an expert in his field but also an extremely kind, caring, loving family man and a loyal friend. His ability to bring people together and his willingness to share his knowledge left an indelible mark on all who had the privilege of knowing him.

Harry Rademaker will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and the entire community. His life was a testament to the values of hard work, spirit, and the joy found in everyday moments. As we remember him, we celebrate a life well-lived—a life that continues to inspire and guide us in our own journeys.

Rest in peace, Harry. Your memory will forever light the way.
