Notes - MELVIN H. PFOHL, age 86 of Niagara Falls, NY, was called to his heavenly home on Saturday, March 28, 2020 in Mount St. Mary's Hospital. Born in Niagara Falls, NY on October 16, 1933, son of Martin and Viola Pfohl.
Melvin graduated from Wilson High School in 1951. He served in the United States Army and served in the Korean War. He loved his family and was an avid hunter and gardener. Melvin was a very active member of St. Peter's Lutheran Church, in Sanborn, where he served in various leadership positions over the years.
Melvin is predeceased by his loving wife, Elaine Pfohl, of 60 years. He is survived by his three children, Donna (Robert) Knights of Penfield, NY, Barbara Walck (Mark Lindauer) of Sanborn, NY, and Gary (Karen) Pfohl of Asheboro, NC; four grandchildren, Lindsey Knights (Mark Janzen), Laura Knights (Jake Parker), Megan (Peter) Fendt, and Jenna (Kevin) Hanes, and a future great-granddaughter. Also survived by his three siblings, Marilyn (late Ben) Cornelius, Delbert (Joann) Pfohl, and Lorraine (Larry) Steingasser; and several nieces and nephews.
Due to the current situation, a memorial service will be held at a later time. The family kindly asks in lieu of flowers, any memorials be made in Melvin's name to St. Peter's Church or School. There will be a private interment in St. Peter's Lutheran Cemetery, Wheatfield, NY. Arrangements have been made through the DuBois Funeral Home.
