Carl R. Muck, born on September 16, 1924, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, passed away peacefully on April 13, 2026, at the age of 101. A devoted husband, father, and grandfather, Carl’s legacy of love and dedication will continue to live on in the hearts of his family and friends. He was a lifelong resident of Pittsburgh and the surrounding area, where he was raised and built a life rooted in hard work and family. His career path began at Taylor Allderdice High School, where he studied in the trade program, leading to early work with Carnegie Illinois Steel Corporation. He later served his country in the U.S. Army for over two and a half years as an Aviation Cadet, working as an airplane and engine mechanic. In 1945, he returned to what became U.S. Steel Corporation, where he continued his career while raising a growing family.
Carl was married to his beloved wife, Norma Muck, on June 14, 1949, and together they raised six children : Norine Prinzo (Joseph), Pamela Troup, Carla Williams (Richard), the late Sarah Clancy (Edward), Dr. Thomas C. (Ellen), and Barbara (Clifford). With determination and discipline, he balanced full-time work, family life, and night school for 10 years, ultimately earning a Bachelor of Science in Engineering. He went on to serve as a Power and Fuel Engineer with US Steel retiring at the age of 58. He was a proud grandfather, affectionately known as “Pappy,” to 12 grandchildren, and cherished the company of his 11 great-grandchildren and one great-grandchild. Carl was preceded in death by his beloved daughter Sarah, granddaughter, Deanna Wolf, and five siblings.
Outside of his career, Carl found great joy in bow hunting, cooking, traveling, woodworking, and, most importantly, raising his family. In retirement, he especially cherished time spent on his property in Slippery Rock, where he could often be found on his tractor, happily mowing and clearing land—creating lasting memories for those who loved him. He treasured family gatherings and celebrations, which brought him his greatest happiness.
Visitation for Carl will be held on Monday from 2-4, 6-8 pm at Devlin Funeral Home of Cranberry Township, 2678 Rochester Road, Cranberry Township. A Mass of Christian Burial will take place on Tuesday at 10:30 AM at St. Cecelia Church, part of Our Lady of The Valley Parish.
