December 15, 2025
Karl Oliver Knobloch, Jr., 89, of North Haven, entered into rest on December 15, 2025. He was the beloved husband of the late Mae DeFilippi Knobloch and the son of the late Karl and Edna (Farquharson) Knobloch.

An avid sports enthusiast, Karl excelled in football, baseball, and hockey during his school years. As time went on, he embraced new passions including horseshoes, golf, pool, and fishing. Above all, Karl treasured time spent with his children and grandchildren. Whether tossing a ball, sharing a lesson, or enjoying a fishing trip, he brought patience, joy, and laughter to every moment together.

Karl was a gentleman and a very nice person who helped anyone who needed advise including others in the field like myself. He worked hard but still managed to have time to lend a hand or that one time a nice round of golf with us at Grassy Hill CC with my family also. Some wonderful memories there.
