Cy was a graduate of Whiting High School Class of 1948. He served with the U.S. Army (Military Police), stationed in
Germany, during the Korean War and went on to graduate from Purdue University with a degree in Structural Engineering. He worked for American Bridge Company in Gary for many years before retiring from U.S. Steel. After retirement, Cy continued his love for his work at Orbital Engineering until finally retiring at the age of 79. Cy was a familiar fixture around the “Region’s” steel mills having done the structural work for many, many of the blast furnaces and cat walks. Cy loved his family deeply and
enjoyed bringing his homemade soup on many of his visits. His presence filled us and he will be missed terribly.
