Dr. Rathnau was my Chicago State University graduate school advisor and woods professor. I found him to be honest, open, and thoughtful. He was certainly a plus for CSU. I was able to complete my thesis under his vigilant guidance. Thank you again Dr. Rathnau. My thoughts and prayers go out to your family during this time. Godspeed, Dr. Rathnau!

Our Most Heartfelt Sympathy to Lorene and Family on your loss.

Mr. Rathnau was my woods teacher at the Englewood Campus and then after nearly 40 years, again, at the 95th St campus along with Mike Catlet. He was Dr. Rathnau by then. "There are only two speeds in the wood shop, slow and slower."

I owe everything I have today to Dr. Rathnau.
He was my Chicago State University graduate advisor and professor. He recommended that I go into teaching after I had a car accident. He told me my body could only do so much Manual Labor. I listened to his advice and have four children and a good job now.
Doc would not allow anyone to touch any power tool until we learned how to use the hand tools first and wrote the safety procedures for that power tool. Still use this method when teaching a shop class.
When writing my thesis, he would stop reading and say, see you next week if he found more than two mistakes on a page.
Dr. Rathnau was an open and honest man, giving advice not for himself but in the interest of his students. I am forever grateful to have met you.
Thank you to the Rathnau family for sharing him with all of us. -
Dear Lorene:
My deepest sympathy to you and your family. Not sure if you remember me or not but I used to live next door to Aunt Pearl and Uncle Mike On Barry Avenue. I recall you & Claire visiting Aunt Pearl once and swimming in our pool. Again my sympathy.

Our condolences to Jeff, Tod, Jill and extended family members. Ann was loved by all. Today’s sadness is tempered by the many happy memories we shared with a sister in law, Aunt and true friend. The fun vacation trips, holidays, and who can forget birthday celebrations at Traverso’s ! We miss her a lot.

So many fond memories...our children growing up together, having fun on the trampolines in Cal Park, making Christmas trees from netting and Christmas aprons, swimming at the Cal Park pool and eating frozen Snickers bars, and the many kindnesses shown to my son Steve. I miss you already.
Patricia Mauloff (nee Morrisroe)
Died in her home on July 7, 2021. Her favorite place to be was working in her garden, which was a neighborhood attraction. She was great lover of animals who had dogs, cats, fish, and birds; and she watched all the nature shows. She had a long, vibrant career as an emergency room nurse, having worked at Mercy Hospital & Medical Center, Holy Cross Hospital, Palos Hospital, and Advocate Christ Medical Center. She is survived by her husband, James; her brother, Raymond; her children Leilani, David and Kerry; six grandchildren; and one great-grandchild. Funeral Services will be private.

Nana. I dont know what to say. I treasure the memories of you being being there and being involved, even from states away at so many points through my life as I grew up. You saw me through graduations. Birthdays, my Eagle Scout, and my wedding. It was always wonderful to know I was making your proud. And while I wish we had more time, it makes my heart full knowing you and your great granddaughter had time to bond together. I love you forever and always, and I can breathe a little easier knowing you are at peace now, and feel no more pain.
