  • Obituary

    Rudy had not lived in Illinois in 25 years. His last home was in Clearwater Nebraska. From there he resided in a nursing home in Tilden, NE, for 18 months before his death, which was caused by aspirating food. Rudy’s parents were Frederick Angerhofer and Suzanna Gahr Angerhofer, both born in Germany, who homesteaded in Grant County, S.D. Frederich’s father was Solomon Angerhofer, who also homesteaded near Milbank, SD. Rudy married Grace Ethelyn Rudy in 1925 in Manhattan, KS. In 1929 their only child, Donald Rudy Angerhofer was born in Oak Park, IL. The family lived in Chicago until after Donald married and moved to Western Springs in 1963. They belonged to the Church of Christ. The family enjoyed road trips all over the country, visiting Rudy’s 15 brothers and sisters. Grace died of heart failure in 1958, at the age of 68. Rudy was a time control engineer for Crane Co. in Chicago, retiring in 1962. In 1969 Rudy married Inez Jaeke in Mesa, Arizona, and they made their home on Inez’ 360-acre farm in Clearwater, NE, where they attended the Concordia Lutheran Church. For many years they spent their winters in Mesa and traveling to visit family across the country. Rudy loved to dance, play the violin and harmonica, travel, and visit. Far into his 80s he hopped in a crouch like a rabbit to entertain his two grandchildren, Peter Hans and Carissa Jill Angerhofer. Rudy was 6 feet tall, blue eyed, and very well spoken. He was of high moral character and jovial spirit, well loved wherever he went. His favorite piece of the chicken was the thigh, and he never met a piece of cake he didn’t like.
