William Roger Niehaus
June 10, 1932-August 15, 2022
Funeral Mass: Saturday, September 17, 2022 at 10:00 a.m. at Good Shepherd (church).
Obituary: William (Bill) Roger Niehaus, 90, of Montgomery, Ohio, died peacefully surrounded by his family on August 15, 2022. Bill was born in Cincinnati to the late George and Lorine Niehaus. He was the beloved husband of 39 years to the late Marian Camille Martinson, and dear friend to the late Jean Ann Johns.
Bill is the loving father of Ted Niehaus (Lisa Smart), David Niehaus, Jennifer Wells, Tom Niehaus (Shawn Crutcher), Juliet Dunn (Donnie), and Natalie Gillespie (Matt) and dear brother of Dr. Dan (Sue) Niehaus, the late Judy Maier (John), and the late Carol Dawson (Mark).
“Poppy” will be greatly missed by his grandchildren Brandon, Christopher, Emma, Ariana, Moriah, Benjamin, Victoria, Brooke, Sam, Alex, Kacie, Alexa, Ashley, Ally, Luke, Paige, Marlow, Sullivan, and great grandchildren Owen and Parker.
After graduating from Purcell High School, Bill attended Xavier University and St. Louis University where he earned his Master’s Degree in physics while also serving as a U.S. Army Captain. Bill enjoyed playing baseball, football, and basketball. He was asked to play in the minor leagues.
Bill spent his career at Aeronca and BelCan as an aerospace engineer, and Scripps-Howard as a market research director. He worked on several NASA contracts during his career at Aeronca. One of these led to Bill creating a patent on development of the space rockets heat shields. He also held six other patents, including static tube picture development. After retiring as an engineer, Bill served many years working for H&R Block and Bass Pro Shops, and continued working into his late eighties.
Bill enjoyed serving as a member of Montgomery City Council and of the Montgomery Planning and Recreation Commission. He also served as President of the Cincinnati Maritime Modelers Boat Club.
Bill enjoyed fishing, hunting, golfing, reading, building “ships in a bottle”, traveling to Northern Michigan, photography, listening to classical music, collecting lots of “stuff” for his various hobbies, volunteering for local elections for the Republican Party, and spending time with his family.
Above and beyond all of Bill’s professional accomplishments and service to the community, his legacy is his genuine kindness and humility, always putting others first and giving of his time to help his family and friends, living the true definition of a devout Catholic.
Mass of Christian Burial will be at 10 a.m. on Saturday, September 17, 2022, followed by a reception at Good Shepherd, 8815 East Kemper Road, Cincinnati, OH 45249. Interment will be held in the summer of 2023 in Leelanau Township Cemetery, Northport, Michigan.
In lieu of flowers sympathy may be expressed by a memorial donation to St. Zachary’s Haven Sober Living Home & Farm, 3364 Route 22 & 3, Morrow, Ohio 45152: stzacharyshaven.com.
