Robert (Bob) Marvin Radner died at age 95 of Parkinson’s on June 6 at home in Orchard Lake.
Born in Detroit to Joseph and Celia Radner, the middle of three children, Radner knew from the age of 4 that he wanted to be an attorney. A proud graduate of the University of Michigan and the University
of Michigan Law School, he concentrated his practice on probate, real estate, and banking litigation matters.
Radner was thrilled to have been honored by the State Bar of Michigan in 2022 for 70 years as a member.
He was the longest-serving member of the Oakland County Bar Association, having joined in November of 1954.
Radner also served in the military during the Korean War, stationed in Munich, Germany.
Radner was amazed at his long life, which he never took for granted, and he readily admitted that the smartest thing he ever did was to find and hold onto his life partner of 40 years, Beate Sturges.
Radner was dedicated to his three children, Rick Radner, who predeceased him, Nancy Radner (Eric Smith) and Ron Radner (Shawna Radner) and was blessed with seven grandchildren, Noa Baron (Silas Kotnour), Asher Baron, Alexander Radner, Jonathan Radner, Katie Radner, Hannah Radner, and Abigail Radner. He is also survived by his sister, Suzanne Tyner.
Never one to avoid an argument, he was also playful and loving—“roughhousing” in the pool in Miami Beach, wildly competitive games of Pounce, and watching the annual Thanksgiving Day Lions game with his son even though he didn’t much like football. He loved laughter and physical fitness, was a proud Toastmasters member (which somehow didn’t improve his joke telling) and did Pilates and lifted weights well into his 90s. He could quote Shakespeare at will, was more than happy to tell you what you should do, but never forgot to say I love you.
A celebration of life took place on June 19.
