William Clemmer Markloff, aged 64, died at home on October 12th, 2022. William (“Bill”) is survived by loving wife Barbara Hanson Markloff, daughter, Charlotte Nicely, and doggie daughter, Josie.

Bill was born on October 22nd, 1957, in Philadelphia, PA where he attended William Penn Charter School. He then began his career as a huckster before founding Top of the Hill Market & Cafe which grew from a loved roadside market.

Bill possessed a generous spirit and is well-known to many for giving them their first chance. Bill wasn't only a business owner, he was a man who believed in treating employees and customers as family.

Bill is additionally survived by brothers and sisters Ellen Williams, John & Teddy Markloff, Suzanne Markloff, & Mary Beatty.

The family is hosting a Celebration of Life in Honor of Bill at the Chestnut Hill Friends Meeting, 20 E. Mermaid Lane, Phila, PA 19118, on Friday, October 21st at 2:30pm. We all have a "Bill Story". If you would like to share one, we encourage you to do so.

In lieu of flowers, the family is asking you to consider a donation to a cause near to Bill's heart, Brookline Lab Rescue (brooklinelabrescue.org).
