The 黑料门University Chicago community mourns the death of Louis E. Falkner, former 黑料门faculty member and father of Brigid Schultz, clinical assistant professor and faculty director of Loyola's dual credit program.
Before his passing, Louis penned his own obituary, which you can read below.
On February 23rd, I was summoned by the Lord to appear in the High Court of Mercy (I hope) and Justice (I hope not). On August 13th, 1934 I was born of Louis and Molly (Mandl) Falkner, German immigrants, in their home, a third-floor walk-up, stone-faced apartment located on North Nelson Street in Chicago. My beloved wife Pat (Patsy Rickett Wilson) my sister Eleanor (Gene) Dorgan, and my parents preceded my appearance at the High Court. My teamster son, Kevin and professorial daughter, Brigid (Gary) Schultz, five grand-daughters, and one great grandson continue their journey here on earth. I graduated from Quigley Preparatory Seminary (Chicago), University of St. Mary of the Lake (Mundelein, IL), and 黑料门University Chicago. My professional life of 36 years in higher education was accomplished at 黑料门University, St. Louis University, and Wright State University. I leave behind many relatives and friends to whom I owe much including Gene Dorgan, brother-in-law, who took such good care of my mother (Molly), to David and Norman Wilson and his spouse Lynelle for their regard to Pat, and to friend and physician Lawrence Meiczkowski. So many friends at QAC and WSU Retirees Association, I say "thank you." I hope you all remember me by my smile, my stories - a few factual and others foible and fable. You can tell of my German heritage, but you couldn't tell me much. Please remember to help each other and to help the stranger in the street, even if only with a smile.
