Colgate Society. Schaefer was a longtime believer in the value of an education. He provided financial support to his 3 sons and grandchildren as they pursued advanced education degrees. He saw that they were debt free upon graduation. Donald was an avid golfer and had terrific sense of humor. Despite spending a great deal of time on the road way from his family as he pursued his professional career, he more than made up for it in his later years. Every other year for the past 30 years he planned and paid for complete Schaefer family reunionsusually at beautiful U.S. National Parks. On the opposite years, Schaefer and just his sons would go on fishing trips from Alaska to Mexico. Schaefer will be laid to rest next to Renate at Brookside Cemetery, Englewood, N.J. - thank you Stephen Huber. A Celebration of Life Luncheon was held at Clinton Inn. Thomas Cavanagh Sr. Thomas John Cavanagh Sr., 81, a Loyola Academy graduate, died Jan. 24, at home of complications from a fractured pelvis after a 3 -year battle with lung cancer. Surrounded by the love of family and friends, and holding his wife’s hand, the last song he heard was Amazing Grace performed on the bagpipes-a fine departure for a proud Irish man. Born Jan. 17, 1938 in Joliet, the son of Gerald and Marcella Cavanagh, Cavanagh grew up on the north side of Chicago. With older sisters Marcy Sneed (deceased) and Bobbie Donlon, and older brother Jerry Cavanagh, he savored the delights of childhood: fishing, camping, hiking, reading and traveling-- after surviving double pneumonia. He studied 12 years with the Jesuits attending St. Margaret Mary’s in Chicago, Loyola Academy and Xavier University in Cincinnati. School friendships, especially his Rambler Class of 1956, remained a source of joy until his dying breath. A man of inexhaustible energy and drive, Cavanagh had many passions: love of family and God; thirst for knowledge; music (Bach, banjo playing, singing in barbershop); golfing; gardening; birding; crossword puzzles; financial markets. His creativity and love of woodworking were nurtured in retirement by the GV Woodworking Club, where he excelled as a cabinetmaker and teacher. He relished adding rivulets of turquoise to glorify any flaw found in the wood. Cavanagh is survived by wife Anne, daughter Katie (husband Pete) Petersen of Des Plaines; son Tom Jr. (wife Cathy) of Green Valley, Ariz.; daughter Patty of Palatine; daughter Colleen (husband Tim) Werner of Rowley, Mass. and nine grandchildren and three greatgrandchildren. Sadly he was predeceased by grandson Thomas John Cavanagh IV. Cavanagh leaves a legacy of “adopted kids” and a multitude of cousins, nieces, nephews, friends, classmates, CBOE floor crowd, woodshop cronies, 4 p.m. Sunday mass attendees who will miss his wicked sense of humor, his wit, and his genuine affection. All felt privileged to know him. His final act of kindness was to donate his body to the Southwest Institute for Bio-Advancement. Celebration of Life services will be held at Our Lady of the Valley Church, 505 N. La Canada Drive in Green Valley at 10 a.m. Tuesday, Feb. 19. Mass will be immediately followed by an Irish Wake at the Cavanagh home from noon until midnight. Services will be held in the Chicago area this coming July when Cavanagh’s ashes will be dedicated in the Cremation Garden of St. Francis, All Saints Cemetery, Des Plaines, IL. In lieu of flowers, the family would prefer Thomas Cavanagh Sr. be honored with a donation to American Foundation for Suicide Prevention or the charity of your choice.
