ROBERT J. “BOB” RAUCH, age 73. Beloved son of Jeanette F. (nee Olsen) and Rudolph J. (both deceased); dear brother of Rebecca J. “Becky” (deceased); cherished friend of Elaine Kucia and Art Stafford. Longtime resident of Garfield Heights (second generation). He was active in various community theatres, Hathaway and Garfield Heights United Methodist Churches, Garfield Heights Historical Society, and Red Cross. Bob suggests donations to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) (now Blood Cancer United). In Bob’s words: I lived a fulfilled life. From a very young age I was taught to respect others of all ages and backgrounds; to leave locations and others better than I found them; to care for others of all kinds as I would want in return; to give and share whatever completely without repayment. From my start I was taught from the Good Book in and out of church. In school I was taught to listen and learn, speaking courteously, and kindly. I have met and experienced different people, learning much. Whether church people, neighbors, family, students, and teachers, I was educated and learned about myself through them. Friends may call at LATEK & RYBICKI, A GOLDEN RULE FUNERAL HOME, 4640 TURNEY RD., where services will be held Tuesday, April 21, at 12:00 Noon. Interment Crown Hill Cemetery. VISITATION: TUESDAY 10:00 AM until time of service.
