Arthur Mrumlinski Obituary

Mr. Mrum, as we called him, was a pivotal figure in my HS years at Lindbloom. Simply knowing that he cared and saw potential in me; helped me through difficult personal times that I never bothered sharing with him. He taught me a lesson that I have ingrained in my children. Be the best you can, because you never know the impact you have.

I am just now learning of Mr. Mrumlinskis transition and am very sorry for the familys loss of a great man. Even now his instructions are thundering in my head as I remove the erroneous apostrophe "s" from his name in this note.
I, too was a Lindblom student of Mr. M, also from the class of 1979. There were very few instructors that I knew cared about me, and Mr. M had such an impact that he came to my mind 40+ years later as my daughter is graduating now from Goode STEM Academy. He comes to mind often as I remember his encouragement to join a youth newspaper team and his pleasant humour when he made "fun" of my pose in my photo ID in front of the entire class. We all erupted in laughter at his imitation of that pose. I apologise for the length of this note but we were so very fond of him and I didn't get a chance to tell him so. He was a giant of a teacher.but I can see he was also a giant of a man. He lives forever in my heart. God bless you all.

Dear Mrumlinski Family,
I would not be the teacher I am today were it not for Mr. Mrumlinski. Every month he would come, "unannounced" to do an evaluation in my second grade classroom. He taught me to be strong, be smart, and be patient, raising the bar for myself and those around me. I was even blessed enough to have you all deliver to my classroom many wonderful resources, which I still use today. Mr. Mrumlinski will always have a special space in my heart as a generous person and admirable mentor. My thoughts and prayers are with you whenever I enter a classroom.

Dottie, Becky, Eileen and Arthur:
Although Art and I sometimes disagreed, he was always a friend and there for me. It was his nature to be helpful to anyone he could. If you measure a man's wealth in terms of family and friends, then Art was very rich indeed. I will miss him.

Dottie,Beckie,Eileen and Arthur,
So sorry to hear of Art's passing.
What a success story he is. God Bless Art and all of you.

We are very sorry for your loss.
(Daughter and son-in-law of Ken and Jenny).

I was a journalism student of Mr. Mrumlinski's at Lindblom Technical High School (Class of 1979). I often remember many of his witticisms and recount them to my students and fellow teachers.

My sincere sympathy goes out to his family and my sincere gratitude goes out to Mr. M. for all the contributions that he made to the lives of so many.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Art and his family. May he rest in peace and we shall meet with him again.

Art will be missed by many people that got to meet him. He was full of energy and was allways smileing. I really thank Art for introducing his family to me after alot of lost years. I feel like one of the family. Art will allways be in our hearts. your cousin Irene

Art was an all around great guy. He brought much happiness into the lives of people all around him. He will be greatly missed but never forgotten. We pray for you and your family.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

I truly enjoyed and looked forward to my trips to see and take care of Art. No matter how bad of a day I was having heading his way I always knew I'd smile and laugh by the end of the visit. He was a special man and I truly enjoyed his spirit and humor. He will be truly missed. My prayers and thoughts with you guys at this time.

I met Mr Mrumlinski as a freshman at Lindblom Technical HS back in 1970. As a student who went on to develop my love of English literature which started at Lindblom, I will be forever grateful to Mr "M" for deciding that instead of teaching in the suburbs, he would share his knowledge of English with the Black and Chinese students at Lindblom right in the inner city of Chicago. Mr M had a very dry wit, but he was open and willing to help.
Thank you very much for sharing such a great man.

Art you are with the angels now. You will be greatly missed and I am happy we got to know you.

I only met Arthur at Becky & Bill's wedding and he seemed like such a kind, fun-loving guy. I know how much he meant to Becky & Bill and I know the whole family is sure to miss such a wonderful person. Cherish the memories and he will be sure to live in your hearts forever. Our deepest sympathy to your family.

Rum was our faculty advisor on yearbook staff at Lindblom. (I'm Class of '77.) I used to love it when he started yelling and cussin' at us. It was only done with love. He was one of the great characters of my youth. My condolences to his family for their loss and my congratulations for having him in your life!

My deepest sorrows are extended to the wife and family of my old friend and teacher. Art is, no doubt, showing the folk in the great beyond how to do things better and more efficiently! :-)

Dottie, Becky, Eileen & Arthur,
Your husband and father was a truly good man. It appeared that he always had the best interests of his family in his heart. Art had the spirit of a true teacher--to do what was right for his students. It was always great to visit with all of you. He truly fought the good fight, ran the course and now he has received his eternal reward.
My condolences to all of you.

Celebrating a life well lived. We will cherish the memories forever. We love you all and are praying for you each and every day.

Becky and Bill,
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
God Bless, Cathy Cepican

May your faith comfort you, and may the Lord wrap you in His love and bring you peace.

Hoping that words can somehow bring a bit of comfort during this difficult time. Please know you are all being thought of.

Sorry for your loss. May he rest in peace.

You are all in our hearts and in our prayers, with much love... Jenn, Carm & Christine

Serving the same community at the same period in our professional lives, Art shared a common bond with many other CPS teachers, principals, and administrators. He will always be remembered for his tireless work with students and parents and his great sense of humor despite all adversity.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

***With Our Deepest Sympathy**
It is so sad that he was taken away so young. He told me once that he felt he had already lived two lives. He was happy for what he had accomplished.
I am proud to know him.
Laura

We are very sorry for your loss.

Becky and Bill,
You are in our hearts and in our prayers during this time. G-d bless you both and your families.

We are truly sorry for your loss. We hope that you find comfort in knowing that he is hurting no more, in the arms of Jesus.

Out thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

God Bless,

Joe & Tina Piersanti

He was a great man and I was very glad to have gotten to know him. He will be missed by so many. Bill and I are so very sorry that the world had to lose him far too early. May he rest in peace.

I didn't have a lot of contact with Art, but I do know he had a wonderful, loving family. He always took things in stride and never seemed upset. His sense of humor always made me laugh.
May you all take comfort in knowing that he is no longer suffering and YOU WILL MEET AGAIN.
God bless,
