Carl N. Tighe
Carl N. Tighe, 801 Dayton Street, Mayville, was called home to his Lord and Savior on July 12, 2019, at Hospice Home of Hope in Fond du Lac after a brief battle with bone cancer.
Carl was born September 23, 1939, in LeRoy to Walter and Elizabeth (Stadler) Tighe.
He attended St. Andrews Catholic School and Mayville High School graduating in 1959.
Carlie was a faithful member of St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Mayville, as well as the Mayville American Legion.
Carlie began his working career as a roofer with his father and later years with his brothers “Pat” and brother Jerry and lastly his brother Ken Tighe and brotherin- law, Max Strasser.
He proudly served his country in the Army Reserves from 1959 through the Berlin Crisis.
Later he ran the Breeze Inn Bar between Mayville and Theresa and after that the Breeze Inn in Mayville. He became the co-owner of Woods Bridge on Lake Sinissippi and in 1986 bought The Pub Supper Club in Mayville.
In 1990 he married his best friend and partner, Luanne Margelofsky Muche. Together they ran The Pub until their retirement in 2007.
Carlie touched the lives of many people and made lifelong friends during the years he ran his businesses. He will be remembered for always having a smile on his face, making the best Old Fashioned, and lending an attentive ear to your problems and joys. He was always willing to lend a helping hand when needed.
Carlie was an avid Badger and Packer fan (even in the bad years), also a fan of stock car racing where he supported his nephews Sam Strasser, Pat Tighe, and Mike Tighe in their hobby. He also enjoyed playing cards, going to the casino and trying to beat his granddaughter, Mataya, in cribbage.
