Former Longtime Radio Shack Employee Passes

William “Bill” Drumheller, 57, passed away on March 17, 2026, following an ongoing illness.

Born May 15, 1968, in Darby, Pennsylvania, he was the son of the late Ray and Naomi Drumheller. Drumheller graduated from Milford High School in 1986 before continuing his education at Randolph–Macon College in Ashland, Virginia, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in computer science.

Drumheller spent many years working at the Radio Shack in Milford until its closure in 2017. He later worked at Ashley Furniture in Dover, where he remained employed until his passing. Known by colleagues and customers alike, he built lasting friendships through his work in the community.

A devoted member of Avenue United Methodist Church, Drumheller also maintained close ties with Carey’s Church in Millsboro, where members supported him with prayers throughout his illness. He had a passion for history and was an avid fan of the Philadelphia Eagles.

He is survived by his sister, Rae Smith and her husband Scott; his nephews Josh Bailey (Kate), Ryan Smith (Kassie), and Chris Bailey (Patty); his great-nieces and nephews Nathan Bailey, Austin Bailey, Blaire Bailey, and Caroline Smith; his beloved dog, Spot; and many friends from his years at Radio Shack and Ashley Furniture.

He was preceded in death by his parents and his brother, Charles William Drumheller.
