Joseph M Radin Sr

Joe was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Janice (Rohman) Radin, in 2012, following 55 years of marriage. He is survived by his three children: Joseph Radin, Jr., of Jamestown, Ohio; Kathy Rush and her husband, Charlie, of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania; and John Radin and his wife, Rosemary, of Beavercreek, Ohio. He is also survived by two grandchildren, Brittany Martin and her husband, Mike, of Dayton, Ohio, and Anna Dinsmore and her husband, Scott, of York, Pennsylvania; and two great-grandchildren, Maya and Emma Dinsmore. Joe was one of twelve children born to George and Anna Radin.

Joe proudly served his country in the United States Navy. Following his discharge, he spent the remainder of his career in the tool and die industry. According to Joe, he was a "jack of all trades and a master of none." His idea of a perfect day was either woodworking in his workshop or fishing at a nearby pond. When he wasn't doing either of those things, you could often find him in his man cave enjoying a cigar. He also enjoyed playing billiards at the Beavercreek Senior Center.

After his wife passed away, Joe began volunteering with the Greene County Council on Aging and Hospice of Dayton. During this time, he came up with the idea of making miniature flag holders to give to veterans and their families as a symbol of gratitude. He became known throughout the local community as the "Flag Man." Joe handcrafted every flag holder in his workshop and gave them to veterans and their families he met along the way. He distributed more than 10,000 flags, each bearing a stamp on the bottom reading, "Handmade by Joe Radin."

Joe will be missed by his many friends and family members. His mischievous grin and wonderful sense of humor were signature traits recognized by everyone who knew him. Above all, Joe was most proud of his family, who meant the world to him. He leaves behind countless fond memories and will forever hold a special place in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.

Friends may call at Tobias Funeral Home, Beavercreek Chapel, on Sunday, November 22, from 2:00 to 5:00 p.m. A funeral service will be held on Monday, November 23, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. at the funeral home. Burial will follow at Valley View Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that contributions be made to Hospice of Dayton in memory of Joseph Radin, Sr.
