Obituary: Jack M. Mastrofski, 91, of Indianola and formerly West Des Moines, IA, died 16, 2015 at Westview , Indianola. Born 23, 1923 in Des Moines, he was the oldest son of Saul and Rebecca Mastrofski. He married he girl of his dreams, Marita Gholson, at her parents home in Knoxville, IA on 8, 1944. In high school Jack enjoyed drawing, swimming, and fencing. His art talent resulted in early recognition at school and from the Younkers department store where his father worked as a haberdasher. Jack graduated from North High School in 1941 and in 1944 attended the Art Students League of New York on scholarship, living in a Chelsea flat with his new wife. Later they moved to a cabin in an artists colony near Woodstock, New York, where they resided until returning to Iowa in 1947. During their time in New York Jack and Marita met many interesting people, including Anais Niin and James Baldwin. He also illustrated a book of poems by Lee Ver Duft, Inner Course in Time, Flesh & Eidolon. Back in Iowa, Jack worked as a fry cook and other odd jobs in Knoxville, then as a quality control inspector for several years at Solar Aircraft of Des Moines, where he served as a union steward. In 1953, he and his growing family relocated to an acreage in West Des Moines, where he resided for 62 years. When Solar relocated out of state, Jack took several jobs in commercial art, attending Drake University part time until he received his baccalaureate in 1965. Following graduation he worked as the art instructor for Norwalk Community Schools for several years before changing to the Des Moines Area Community , teaching commercial art. During his years at DMACC he inspired scores of students, many of whom kept in touch with him after graduating. Not only was Jack known as a diversely skilled and dedicated teacher with high expectations of his students, he also enjoyed spending time with them outside of class - such as chaperoning trips to New Orleans, San Francisco, and other cities. He retired in 1985, although he continued to do a variety of art projects for businesses in the Des Moines area and other parts of Iowa, as well as doing some part-time teaching at DMACC. During his career as an artist, Jack worked in a variety of media and styles, including ink, crayon, oils, wood, silk screen, Japanese-style gold leaf print, bronze castings memorializing World War I doughboys, Bruegel-style murals of alpine parties, spicy club scenes in the fashion of Toulouse-Lautrec, and bas-relief copperwork depicting the brewing of beer. His drawings and paintings grace the walls of private clients and family, and can also be found at Peggys Tavern (Des Moines) and the Guthrie county building. For several decades, Des Moines-area theatre goers enjoyed his handiwork on stage in the construction of sets, masks, and other props, as well as eye-catching posters. He received an award from the Drama Workshop for his artistic contributions to dramatic productions. Jack loved reading books and spending time in libraries. He treasured the West Des Moines library, and its solicitous staff, who expressed frequent gratitude for his immense contribution to their circulation statistics. Jacks reading interests were broad, ranging from anthropology to zoology. He did not travel a great deal, but he journeyed much through books, where his imagination took him places few have gone. Occasionally he illustrated his journeys, such as his memorable visit to the moon in a bathtub, long before Apollo 11 astronauts got there. Jack was a fabulous story teller, entertaining children young and old with highly animated renditions of fairy tales, such as Big Klaus and Little Klaus, tales of Brer Rabbit, and The Grinch Who Stole Christmas. One of his favorite recitations was a Great Depression-era spoonerism he learned from his father, and that he passed on to his children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren: Once a Big Molicepan. He delighted in constructing spur-of-the-moment puns. He loved music, and he enjoyed playing his stand-up bass fiddle in concert with family musicians and even the occasional club gig. His creativity extended to the fashioning of exotic gustatory concoctions, such as his regular breakfast of sardines and peanut butter. Jack enjoyed frequent visits from the large number of family and friends who dropped by or lived at his always-welcoming home over the decades. This same home was for many years a haven for dogs and cats, such as Mollydog, Malcolm, Skeeter, Max, and numerous generations of Eloises. - all of whom received his devoted love and attention. Jack is survived by his wife of 70 years, brother Burton Mastrofski, and his wife, Sandy. Surviving children are: Stephen Mastrofski and his wife Jennifer, Robin Vanderhoef and her husband Russell, and Aaron Mastrofski. Also surviving are five grandchildren: Melissa Ferguson, Danielle Vanderhoef, Amelia Ruiz, Daniel Mastrofski, and Eric Mastrofski. Also surviving are his 9 great grandchildren: Oscar Ferguson-Osborne, Paige Yanny, Amari Mastrofski, Jalen Harris, Iliana Ruiz, Annabel Vanderhoef, Kian Ruiz, Bryson Mastrofski, and Cameron Mastrofski. In addition, he is survived by nine sisters/brothers-in-law: Dale Streeter, Adrienna and Lewis Clark, Hank Gholson, Sally Garfield, Susan Gholson, Jim Schoonover, Michaeleen Parks, and Bill Vogel. Among surviving family are many, many nieces, nephews and grand nieces and nephews.
