David Eugene Kress, 77, of Indianapolis, passed away September 22, 2020. He was born February 25, 1943 in Erie, Pennsylvania to the late Sylvester and Sophie (Lukaszewski) Kruszewski. He was a graduate of Cathedral Prep in Erie, PA and received his B.S. in Accounting from Boston University. For more than 25 years he worked as an accountant at GTE, and later at Erie’s Barber Center.
He is survived by his wife of 53 years, Carolyn (McCarthy) Kress; sons David (Karen) of Indianapolis and Colin (Laurie) of Portland, OR; grandchildren: Caroline, Sara, Tom, Emma, Annie, Sam and Neil.
He was preceded in death by his mother, Sophie, father, Sylvester, and brother, Robert.
David was a member of S.S. Peter and Paul Cathedral in Indianapolis. He was a lifelong Cleveland Indians fan. David and Carolyn enjoyed many fall trips to the Smoky Mountains in Tennessee. With Carolyn, he spent an April in Paris and Prague. He volunteered as a reader for the blind. He was always ready to argue (not debate), and was considered a founding member of The Weather Channel by his family. Most of all, David loved to follow the lives and activities of his grandchildren.
