Robert Radding of Sharon passed away on March 15, 2022, surrounded by his family. The oldest son of Joseph and Eunice Radding of Springfield, Ma, he is survived by his beloved wife Rina, his daughters Leora Hearst (Benjamin) of New Orleans and Ilana Clemon (Richard) of Norfolk; and his grandchildren Opal, Ashley, Mathew, William and Maisie, his brother Alan (Eva) of Newton, and his sister-in-law Linda of Longmeadow. He was predeceased by his brother Edward and sister Ann.
Robert managed the family advertising business, Radding Signs, and devoted himself to many causes, including the Anti-Defamation League, the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, and the YMCA of Greater Providence (RI). He was an avid stamp collector, and he loved to camp and ski, especially with members of the family. He loved classical, traditional jazz and 1950s rock music. Most of all, he was a dedicated, warm, funny, wise family man who will be very much missed.
Graveside services will be held on Wednesday, March 16, at 10:30 am at Sharon Memorial Park. Shiva will be observed at his late residence in Sharon on Wednesday from 7-8:30 pm and at the home of Alan and Eva Radding on Thursday from 7:30-9pm, and Sunday, March 20, 7:30-9 pm. In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate donations to the ADL (adl.org).
