Carl Marcoff - Class Of 1946

OBITUARY FROM NW INDIANA TIMES, MAY 13, 2008:

Carl P. Marcoff, age 79, of Hobart, IN, formerly of Merrillville, passed away at home Sunday, May 11, 2008.

He is survived by his wife of 55 years, JoAnne (nee Groff); three daughters: Cindy (Rick) Lesniewski of Schererville, IN, Brigit Gold of Highland, IN and Denise Kasper of Hobart, IN; five grandchildren: Jennifer Flickinger, Dale Flickinger, Brandon (Becky) Gold, Amber (John) Bogucki and Crystal Kasper; three great grandchildren: Tylor Torres-Regnier, Riley Woodward and Austin Gold; one sister, Jean (Deacon Sherman) Brown of Valparaiso, IN; and many wonderful cousins, nieces and nephews. Preceded in death by parents: Pando and Katherine Marcoff; brother, Jim Marcoff; and son-in-law, Robert Gold.

Carl was a member of St. Andrew's Catholic Church and Men's Club. He graduated from Hobart High School, joined the Navy and was a veteran of the Korean War. He came home to help his parents run Marcoff's Tavern in Gary, IN at 13th and Madison. Carl worked for his cousin at Steel City Lawn, worked at Jacobsen's Lawn Equipment and retired from Sand Creek Country Club. But, his greatest accomplishment was loving his family and friends. He was the "ordinary" guy that was always ready with a helping hand to fix anything or with a joke to share, the one that was there with his camera to capture special moments, or his fishing pole to capture (and release) fish.

Friends may call at Pruzin Brothers Funeral Service, 6360 Broadway, Merrillville, IN on Wednesday, May 14, 2008 from 2:00-8:00 p.m. Prayer service at 3:00 p.m. Funeral services will be held Thursday, May 15, 2008 at 9:30 a.m. from Pruzin Brothers Chapel and 10:00 a.m. from St. Andrew Catholic Church, 801 W. 73rd Ave., Merrillville, IN with Rev. Richard Ameling officiating. At rest Calumet Park Cemetery. Family and friends may share an online condolence or memory at: www.pruzinfuneralservice.com
