Dr. William W. Nucklos

Dr. William W. Nucklos, age 71. Sunrise January 03, 1948 and Sunset July 14, 2019.
71 years, 6 months and 11 days marked the time William Wolff Nucklos would need to fulfill his destiny. On a cold day in January, Olee Nucklos birthed a future husband, father, physician, and pastor.

Dr. William Wolff Nucklos was known to some as “Dubby”, others would call him Bill, and many would simply call him “Doc.”

Bill was a proud graduate of Canton McKinley High School. Bill then attended Bowling Green State University, and The Ohio State University. He earned a B.S. from the former and M.S. and M.D. from the latter.

While “Dubby” was in graduate school, he married Shirley Ann Curtis, his high school sweetheart on March 11, 1972. They would go on to have 3 children.

Bill Nucklos had a successful private medical practice for over 30 years in Columbus, Ohio. His office was known around the city for its Christmas parties and extensive workout facility.

All who knew “Doc”, also knew he was a Buckeye fanatic! You didn’t stand a chance trying to argue with him about his beloved Alma Mater. It was Big 10 or bust, and he had all the stats to back it up!

Dr. Nucklos’ final assignment was that of a Pastor. In 2014 he was officially installed as Pastor of Pentecostal Temple C.O.G.I.C., in Canton, Ohio. It was in his role as Pastor that his divine gifts were cultivated.

“Doc” was one to whom many looked up. He had a heart of gold and was always helping someone in some manner. He never hesitated when someone was in need and taught his family to be generous and thoughtful. Doc spent countless hours mentoring, counseling and providing encouragement to those around him. His quick wit, sage advice and motivating spirit will truly be missed.

He is preceded in death by his father Pastor Lee Nucklos and wife Shirley C. Nucklos. He is survived by his mother Olee Nucklos; 3 sisters, Patricia Ann Nucklos, Dr. Ruby Nucklos and Dr. Rosie Doughty; 4 children, Tuere Nucklos, Tiombe O’Rourke (Kenneth), Khari Nucklos and Quran Nucklos; 2 grandchildren, Alasia Nucklos and Kenneth O’Rourke III; special nieces, Alexis Allen and Nia Harvey; beloved friend, Toni Catenacci.
