Obituary for William Radloff

William “Bill” Radloff passed away peacefully June 7, 2017 at Sunrise of Gahanna with his family at his side. Born on October 21, 1928 in Chicago, he was preceded in death by his parents, William and Anna Nolan Radloff and brother James. An Army veteran of the Korean War era, Bill was a longtime member of Cross and Cockade and the Aldus Society. After retiring from Lucent Technologies, Bill established The Little Book Shop in Westerville. He was a historian of World War I aviation and an avid collector of Ohio history, fine literature and poster art. He enjoyed Otterbein theater, music of every variety, Monday evenings with the charismatic group at St Paul, and the thrill of discovering a mint first edition (dust cover intact) of a collectible book. And he hated the Borman Expressway. But, most of all, he loved his family. Bill is survived by his sons, William, David, Paul (Jennie)), Adam (Jackie) and John; his grandchildren, Joseph (Heather), Luke, Jia and Schwen; his sister Catherine (Tom) Daly; many nieces and nephews and former wife, Pat.
