Carl H. Weinrich, 86, a lifelong resident of Arlington Heights, retired in 1986 as owner of Weinrich Shoe Service, a shoe repair shop he opened in downtown Arlington Heights in 1948. Mr. Weinrich died Friday, Oct. 6, in his home. Mr. Weinrich served as village clerk for Arlington Heights from 1953 to 1957. Mr. Weinrich, a 46-year member of the Arlington Heights Lions Club, served several terms as president of the service club in the 1960s and 1970s and was club secretary for 14 years. "He was always a very positive-thinking individual," said his son David, the current owner of Weinrich Shoe Service. "He promoted Arlington Heights as much as he could to anyone he could. He'd tell people who were just moving in about city services and service clubs. He was also very active in [St. Peter Lutheran]. He would try to inspire people to go to a church for their spiritual lives. He never had a bad word to say about anyone." Other survivors include another son, Rev. Charles A.; eight grandchildren; and six great-grandchildren. A visitation will be held from 3 to 9 p.m. Tuesday in Glueckert Funeral Home, 1520 N. Arlington Heights Rd., Arlington Heights and 10 to 11 a.m. Wednesday, when a service will begin in St. Peter Lutheran Church, 111 W. Olive St., Arlington Heights.

Deceased Name: Carl Weinrich, Civic leader, keeper of Arlington Heights history dies at age 86
Carl Weinrich chronicled the life of 20th-century Arlington Heights from the days when folks kept chickens and ducks in their back yards to the brink of the new millennium.
He served as village clerk from 1953-57, when Arlington Heights began its explosive post-war population boom. He was a member of the Arlington Heights Lions for 46 years, and a lifelong member of St. Peter Lutheran Church.
He wrote an autobiography detailing the days when farmers rode horses into downtown Arlington Heights on Saturdays - back when paved sidewalks were still a novelty.
Weinrich, 86, died Friday at his 125 S. Chestnut Ave. home, just three blocks west of where he was born. He was buried Wednesday in Memorial Garden Cemetery after funeral services at St. Peter Lutheran Church.
"He was a walking history book," Village President Arlene Mulder said. "He always greeted me with such warmth and a smile, which he was known for."
Weinrich is survived by two sons, eight grandchildren and six great-grandchildren, and the family business, Weinrich Shoe Service, still downtown at 40 S. Dunton Ave.
"I never heard him cuss anyone out or hurt anybody," said Al Smith, a fellow Lion who knew Weinrich for 21 years. "If he didn't have anything good to say, he generally didn't say anything."
Born June 21, 1914, at the family home at 109 S. Dunton Ave., Weinrich graduated from Arlington High School in 1932. He married Ruth Nowack on April 9, 1939.
He opened Weinrich Shoe in 1948 and ran it until he was elected village clerk in 1953 - the same year he joined the Lions Club.
Weinrich was Lion of the Year in 1973-74 and served two terms as president of the Arlington Heights club (1962-63 and 1973-74). He also served as club secretary from 1974 to 1992, and was a Melvin Jones Fellow - the highest honor in the Lions Club.
"Everybody in Lionism, not just in Arlington Heights, but in the district, knew him," Smith said. "He had a lot of friends in the state, too."
Smith said the Arlington Heights Lions also honored Weinrich by maintaining a scholarship in his name to send a disabled child to a five-week summer camp.
Smith also took his four children to Weinrich's shoe store as they grew up. "So he was very happy to make my acquaintance," Smith said.
Smith also recalled Weinrich always proudly referred to his sons - David, who took over the shoe store, and Charles, a Lutheran minister.
"He always told people, 'I have two sons, and their business is saving soles. One is a shoe repair person, and the other is a preacher,' " Smith said.
Family members could not be reached Wednesday for comment.
Weinrich was preceded in death last October by his wife.
Their passing, along with the death of Helen Horath, in August, mark the passing of an era, Mulder said.
"It's a great loss," she said. "The fortunate thing is I believe Carl, Ruth and Helen and many other of our prominent citizens left oral histories. So we have tapes of them remembering people, places and things."
