Ervin Rausch was born on April 20, 1919 and passed away on Thursday, April 10th. Erv was born in St. Cloud, Minnesota and was an avid pilot, beginning in high school. Erv flew in the Army Air Corps, retired as a Captain from United Airlines, flew as a corporate pilot for Puget Power and kept a plane at Crest Air Park for many years – encouraging his sons to fly, too.
Erv married Sally in 1948 and they moved to Lake Meridian in 1963. Erv loved boating, hunting, fishing, scuba diving and sailing. Erv and Sally were charter members of the Lake Shore Club (pre LMCA) and participated in the “Booze Cruises” on the Meridian Belle. Erv and Sally loved to travel and visited Europe, Asia, China, Mexico and numerous other spots.
Erv will be greatly missed by all who knew him as he was a kind, gentle, funny and generous man. In the neighborhood he collected four legged pals with his doggy bones, children with his ready smile and large candy bars, and adults with his great cocktails and conversations. Erv is survived by his wife, Sally, and three sons Mike, Bill, Tom and their families.
