Jack Carroll Obituary
Jack graduated from Sacred Heart High School in 1949 and was a three-sport letterman in football, basketball, and baseball. He served in the United States Army during the Korean War where he also played basketball, baseball, and volleyball with his fellow serviceman. Jack worked nearly 40 years in the production of the Indianapolis Star and News. He was active in sports and coached CYO basketball, and Indiana Central Little League baseball. Jack was a member at St. Barnabas Catholic Church for over 50 years where he served as an usher and helped count the Sunday collections. He loved to play Pinochle, Euchre, Aggravation, and loved to spend time with his family especially on vacation in Florida. While Jack loved all of his many activities, the greatest love he had was for his family. Jack was a great husband, father and grandfather, a consummate volunteer and an all-around great guy.
Jack is survived by his children, Gregory (Michelle) Carroll, Christina (Dr. Joe) LaRosa, Cathy (Bill) Holland, Lisa (Jim) Feltz, grandchildren Dominic (Rebecca) LaRosa, Hannah (Jake) Meredith, Adrianna (Caleb) Ernest, Brendan (Emily) Carroll, Francesca (David) Rohrer, Brenna Holland, Dash Holland, Lucas LaRosa, Mariesa LaRosa, Sean Carroll, Liz (Jonah) Hollis, Michael Feltz, Allison Feltz, Zachary Stopher and four great- grandchildren.
Visitation will be Friday, November 4, 2022, from 4 – 8 PM at O'Riley Branson Funeral Service and Crematory, 6107 South East Street, Indianapolis. Mass of Christian Burial will be Saturday, November 5, 2022, at 11 AM at St. Barnabas Catholic Church, 8300 Rahke Road, Indianapolis. Burial will be at Calvary Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate Masses being offered for the repose of his soul or donations to be made to St. Francis Hospice House.
Our family is appreciative of the excellent care he received at both Five Star Residence at Banta Pointe and at St. Francis Hospice House.

Jack and his family were good neighbors. Growing up on Dixie Dr and then returning to raise my family, I was fortunate to know Jack. He always had a smile and kind word. We were pleased to learn that he worked with Fay´s father in law, Gus Etter.
May peace be with the family.

I can still see Jack and my dad, both in their 70's, walking up and down Dixie Drive, chatting away and raising their hands to neighbors driving by. I think we even called them the Neighborhood Patrol. Good friends. Mighty fine men.
