GUEST BOOK March 27, 2015 RIP Chief. ~ MH53 CrewChief, Virginia Beach, Virginia March 07, 2015 My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort. ~ Frank Perkins, Belleview,, Florida March 07, 2015 I started flying with Rat in 1961 at Harmon, Nfld where I was his Detachment Commander and got to know Delores too. In 1967, I got him to my Det in Nha Trang, RVN to be my Maintenance Supervisior. There he got all our problems straightened out in two months. After he retired from the USAF, I tried to hire him to be my Maintenance Chief on a USN Contract in the Bahamas. At his interview he told me that if I hired him and he came overseas again, Delores would kill us both. I miss both of them! ~ Joe Ballinger, Major USAF Retired, Norton, Kansas March 06, 2015 My sincere condolences to the Ratliff family. I flew many combat missions on CH-3E helicopters with Rats while stationed with the 21st SOS 1969-1970. I'm very proud to have served with Rats and to have him as a friend. I will miss him greatly and never forget him. May God comfort and protect the Ratliff family. God rest the soul of CMSgt. Adron D. Ratliff. ~ Jim Burns, Navarre, Florida March 05, 2015 So sorry to hear of your loss, I worked with Adron at the post office for years, he was a Good friend. God bless you all. Josette Turner ~ Josette Turner, Hawthorne, Florida March 05, 2015 My deepest sympathies and condolences to the entire family. You are all in my thoughts and prayers in this most difficult time. ~ Charlene Baker, Ruskin, Florida March 05, 2015 This is a "tough one" for me. There probably few people who are as nice as was Adron. Our friendship goes back almost 55 years when we served together in USAF. Rest in peace, my brother. ~ Robert (Bob) Suhrheinrich, Tampa, Florida |
