Emil ‘Tim’ Dulovich 1921-2021

Emil was born June 6, 1921, in Campbell, a son of the late Martin and Elizabeth Spak Dulovich, and except for his time in the military, lived his life in this area.

He attended Campbell Memorial High School and very proudly served as a PFC in the U.S. Army during World War II, from 1942 until 1945. He began basic training in Houston and was stationed during the war in Africa, Sicily, Persia and Europe.

After his honorable discharge from the service, he returned to this area, married his wife, Mary, and started a family. He was employed by Youngstown Sheet & Tube at the Campbell Works, where he worked as a boilermaker for a total of 39 years, five months and three days, retiring in 1983.

Mr. Dulovich enjoyed sports, and was a diehard fan of the Cleveland Browns and Ohio State Buckeyes. Tim golfed and bowled regularly in several leagues, and he played in a golf league up until he was 95. In his 70s, he had two holes-in-one.

Tim had a knack and talent for woodworking, and as a hobby made many beautiful things for his family and friends, including three lovely walnut grandfather clocks for each of his children.

He was a member of Our Lady of Sorrows Parish, Holy Name of Jesus Church, in Youngstown.

Emil’s beloved wife of 63 years, Mary Dulovich, whom he married June 28, 1947, passed away April 9, 2011.

Besides his wife, four sisters, Margaret Barile, Cecelia Dulovich, Helen Santell and Mary Dulovich; a brother, Martin; and a son-in-law, Daniel Case, are deceased.
