Albert Rakowitz
    Albert Edward Rakowitz, 71, of Marion, died April 4, 2015 in San Antonio. He was born on April 17, 1943 in LaSalle. Albert was a longtime resident of Marion. He worked as a mechanic, salesman, and longtime owner/operator of Riverside Resort. He was creative and able to fix just about anything. He would often create unique “fixes”, while solving a problem, or repairing an item. Albert worked hard, but he did enjoy fishing and hunting as often as he could. His favorite pastime of all was most definitely spending time with his family.
    Albert is preceded in death by his siblings, Gertrude Tegeler Stark, Mary Boehm, Frances Tudyk, Raymond Rakowitz, and Anna Reyher. 
    He is survived by his wife, Maxine Rakowitz; children, Edward Rakowitz and fiancé Lauralee Randol, Beverly Miller and husband Leavie, and David Rakowitz and wife Kathy; grandchildren, Justin Rakowitz, Katie Hodges, Claire Rakowitz, Kalin Rakowitz, Camille Rakowitz, Yancey Miller, Abigail Miller, Zachary Miller, and soon to be included in family, Karie Ann Randol, Mattie Randol, Macie Randol, and Colton Randol; and sisters, Justine Vesley, Ruby Sawyer, and Dorothy Hagen.
