Natick’s next square dedication: Atherton & High for the Radock family

March 23, 2022 by Bob Brown Leave a Comment

The Natick Select Board this Wednesday is slated to hear a request to dedicate a square at the corner of Atherton and High Streets in honor of Anna and Edward Radock, who both served during World War II. The ceremony would take place at noon on March 26, marking Edward’s 98th birthday.

Update (3/26/22): Channel 5 interviewed Mr. Radock.

We’ve embedded the town’s resolution regarding the Radocks below.

According to the request by Natick Director of Veterans Services Paul Carew, “Anna served in the Navy {WAVE} from 5/4/1943 to 12/6/1945 reaching the rank of Yeoman 2nd Class. Edward served in the Navy from 11/3/1942 to 1/ 23/1946 reaching the rank of Radarman Second Class. Ed and Anna raised their children on Atherton Street.”

This information was brought to Carew’s attention by a retired Natick Police Department sergeant. Edward Radock worked for NPD toward the end of his career.

Learn more about Edward Radock through the Natick Veterans Oral History Project. The MetroWest Daily News also profiled him in 2014.
