Henry George Rausch passed away Friday, April 13, 2007, at the age of 80. Henry was born Nov. 14, 1926, in Athens, where he resided his whole life until recently, when he lived at Continental Manor Nursing Home in Abbotsford.
Henry was a simple man who we all could learn from. He had an uncommon ability for remembering life's special moments like birthdays and anniversaries. He was an avid weather watcher who studied maps. He loved to travel, share a cigar with his nephews and enjoyed a good meal. Henry's unrecognized intelligence will be greatly missed.
He is survived by two sisters, Agnes Writz, Round Lake, Ill., and Rosemarie (John) Nowicki, Athens; and one sister-in-law and caregiver for 49 years, Lucille Rausch, Athens. He is also survived by twenty two nieces and nephews, and many great-nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Anton and Mary (Hornick) Rausch; and two brothers, Edward and Bernard Rausch.
The funeral Mass will be celebrated at 11 a.m. Thursday, April 19, 2007, at St. Anthony Catholic Church, Athens. The Rev. Charles Hiebl will preside. Burial will be in Calvary Cemetery, Athens.
