Marvin E. Sablosky
93, passed away peacefully in Sarasota, Florida on December 3, 2014. Marvin was born in Indianapolis, Indiana and graduated from Indiana University with a degree in Business Administration. He served in the United States Navy during WWII where he was a Lieutenant on the USS Fogg in the Atlantic theatre. Marvin married Idamae Trockman (aka "Ann") on March 15, 1944 and had three children. Along with his grandfather, father, and son, he owned and operated Sablosky's Department Stores in Indianapolis. Marvin enjoyed golf, all sports, fishing, boating, stock car racing, conquering the computer, and his time as a docent at Mote Marine Aquarium in Sarasota. He was an accomplished bowler, teaching many of Indianapolis' youth the fine points of bowling and even scored a perfect 300 himself. In other words, he loved any activity that involved a ball or wheels!

As a published author, he wrote many short stories and was most proud of his book, Another Time, Another Place. Marvin was active in the Jewish community serving as President of Hooverwood and as a member of the IHC Brotherhood.

His parents, Minnie and David Sablosky, and his son, Dean, preceded him in death.
