Harold Andrew “Brown Goat” Rader, Sr., age 78 of White House, passed away on April 23rd at his home surround by his family.
Mr. Rader was born on December 2, 1938 to the late Hugh and Helen Rader in Millersville, Tennessee. He graduated from White House High School, married the love of his life in 1958, and started driving a Food Grade Tanker in 1962 becoming “Brown Goat” over the CB air waves. He retired in 2007, so he could spend more time with his beloved and the grandchildren. This also gave him time to really enjoy his Antique International Harvester Tractors.
