Marvin Arden Tellock, age 88, of Oshkosh died Wednesday, November 9, 2016, at Mercy Medical Center in Oshkosh. He was born August 13, 1928, in Oshkosh to the late Edward and Marie (Maack) Tellock.
Marvin served his country in Korea. He was a very devout and proud veteran of the United States Army and cherished his medallion he had recently been given on the Honor Flight to Washington D.C. to visit the war memorials he had attended with his younger brother Merle.
On September 23, 1950, he married Kathryn Stine and they had seven children. For 27 years Marvin worked as a plasterer and then he was employed by Oshkosh Truck as a material handler for 17 years until his retirement. Marvin truly enjoyed white-tailed deer hunting, fishing, gardening, and one of his favorite pastimes was playing cribbage and sheepshead with family and friends whenever he could. Marvin and some friends formed the Crowbar Club, a card playing group. He also could have been an announcer for the Green Bay Packers. Marvin was a member of Bethlehem Lutheran Church, Oshkosh.
Marvin is survived by his wife of 66 years, Kathryn Ann Tellock; six children, Sharon Kay (Jerome) Pongratz, James Marvin Tellock, Pamela Dawn Luedtke, Sheila Lynn (Marvin) Luedtke, Maureen Faye (Kurt) Carpenter, Darwin Edward Tellock; thirteen grandchildren; sixteen great-grandchildren and one on the way; two brothers, Ralph Tellock, Merle Tellock; sister-in-law, Pat Tellock; and nieces, nephews, other relatives, and friends.
Along with his parents, Marvin was also preceded in death by a son, Robert Tellock; a grandson, Daniel Pongratz; two sisters and brothers-in-law, Gladys and Robert Peerenboom, Delores and Don Doman; and a sister-in-law, Barb Tellock.
A visitation for family and friends will be on Monday, November 14, 2016, from 10:00 a.m. until Noon at Bethlehem Lutheran Church 1206 Ontario St. Oshkosh. A funeral service will be held on Monday at Noon at the church with Pastor Paul Lidtke officiating. Military honors will follow. Burial will be in Lake View Memorial Park, Oshkosh.
Marvin's family wishes to thank the Mercy Medical Center ER nurses and doctors, and the staff at Westbrooke Manor for all of the care shown to him.
