Rudy and his wife, Nell Wagner Radick, who preceded him in death, moved to Buena Vista, where he provided meticulous dental care to anyone in need. Convinced that dentistry was not a business but a health service to be employed for the benefit of humanity, Rudy treated all his patients with respect and compassion. Nights, weekends, holidays, if you had a dental emergency, you could call "Dr. Radick." This included the occasional visitor traveling down his beloved Blue Ridge Parkway, as well as his regular patients. Rudy was dedicated to his practice and was rewarded with the steadfast loyalty of his patients. He reluctantly retired after 40 years chair side. Rudy loved the Buena Vista area and, although he visited other places, he often declared it to be one of the most beautiful in the world.

One of his favorite projects was the Lions Club Adopt-a-Highway clean- up along Route 60. One sister, Helen Schmerler, is deceased. Surviving siblings include his devoted sister, Josephine Viele, and brothers, Joe Radick and Paul Radick, all of the greater Chicago area.
