Rudolph (Rudy) William Pinter passed away peacefully on Saturday, April 22, 2017 at the age of 90. Rudy was born January 13, 1927 in Chicago, Ill. He lived most of his life in Chicago and the surrounding area. As a child, he contracted polio, restricting him from military service during WWII, but went on to develop a career and become head of maintenance for several schools in the Morton Grove School District in Illinois.
He is fondly remembered for his loving nature and easy smile. His devoted years of service to the schools and various clubs and organizations earned him many awards and accolades. On snowy mornings in the cold winters of the North Chicago suburbs, Rudy would always be found plowing the snow from parking lots and sidewalks to make sure the schools were ready for children. The students loved when he would leave notes on the chalkboards for them, and looked forward to seeing him in the afternoons as he helped out as crossing guard. Rudy and his wife, Dolores, retired to Peachtree City, GA. in 1990 where he stayed active in the community. He was a member of Holy Trinity Catholic Church, the Peachtree City Pioneers, and the Knights of Columbus.
Rudy was preceded in death by his wife, Dolores M. Pinter (Wuckert).
He is survived by his sons, David Pinter and his wife, Charlene of Estero, Fla.; Randy Pinter and his wife, Lori of Senoia, Ga.; Rick Pinter and his wife, Dawn of Lake Zurich, Ill.; grandchildren, Kelly Pinter (Adam Gira), Dane Pinter, Ryan Pinter (Audra), Courtney Pinter, Meghann Yosten (Nick); and great-grandchildren Hanalei Gira, Dexter Gira, Hank Yosten, Ella Grace Yosten and Vincent Pinter. He loved all his family dearly.
A funeral mass will be held on Friday, April 28, 2017 at 10 a.m. at Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Peachtree City. Private interment will immediately follow at Westminster Memorial Gardens in Peachtree City.
