Vincent T. Radula

Vincent T.  Radula, of Randolph, Mass passed away peacefully on January 14, 2026 at the remarkable age of 101.  Born on October 14, 1924, he was the beloved son of the late Andrew C. and Helen (Smelter) Radula.

Vincent (“Vinny”) was a devoted husband to the late Lorraine R. (Lavigueur) Radula.  He was the loving father to the late William (Bill) Radula, who sadly passed away in November 2025 and Bill’s partner, Joe Salterio of W. Roxbury, MA. He is survived by his son, Craig A. Radula of Randolph, his daughter, Diane M. (Radula) Young and her husband Adam of Dedham, MA.  He was the cherished grandfather of Andrew and Maisie Young.

Vinny grew up in Worcester, MA alongside his late siblings Helen J. (Radula) Alexander and Francis (Frank) S. Radula.   The three enjoyed time at their family cabin in Brookfield, MA-swimming, boating and fishing together.  Vinny worked for many years in the printing industry, beginning at the Worcester Gazette and later continuing his career with the U.S. Government Printing Office.

Vinny and Lorraine were married for 63 years. They were married on June 26, 1958 at St Paul’s Church in Worcester.   Afterward, they lived in Maryland and then returned to Massachusetts to settle in Randolph.  You could find Lorraine and Vinny eating out at their favorite local restaurants many days of the week.

Vinny loved to putter around his yard.   He meticulously cared for the lawn and plantings.  He was always the first in the neighborhood to be out shoveling when a snowstorm hit.  He genuinely enjoyed the peace and quiet of his yard.  

Vinny  enjoyed spending time with his three children. He loved ice skating and fishing with them when they were young, as well as family vacations.  He continued fishing into his late 80s with his son, Craig.  Visiting hours will be held at the Hurley Funeral Home, 134 So. Main St. (Rt. 28), Randolph on Friday, January 23rd from 4-6pm.
