Harry Sator Obituary

Harry was like a father to me, I have the fondest memories hanging out at the Sator home. It is nearly beyond words what he did for Park Ridge youth soccer. He dedicated his life to his kids and those that were able to take advantage of the results of his efforts providing wonderful venues for youth athletics. He is a wonderful example for all parents. I feel honored to have know him.

Harry was a close Beloit College SAE fraternity brother for 66 years.My earliest memory was that he had a tuxedo and I didn't, so he generously let me borrow it. This went well until he needed it for a first date, which ended up being a last date, as it was the start of a life long love affair with Lois (Lanum) Sator.

Harry's contribution to Park Ridge Hockey will be well remembered for years, to players coming up through the program in the 60's and 70's. The importance he placed on skating and puck handling at Michael Kirby's contributed to many outstanding players through the years. Though SPORTSMANSHIP will always be his most lasting legacy. Harry signified all that makes hockey great.

I will miss helping his sunflowers grow higher than any in Park Ridge, and throwing the football around with him for countless hours.

Harry was truly an amazing person. He brought much grace and happiness to the world. He will live on in everyone he has touched forever.

Harry will always be remembered in the hockey community as the grandfather of Learn-to-Skate. He taught thousands of youngsters over his 50 year involvement in Park Ridge Hockey how to have FUN at the sport of ice hockey. he will be sorely missed.

I was so happy when Harry hosted all the remaining first cousins of William Koehler for a reunion at his house. What a sweet, sweet man.

I will miss Uncle Harry. He was always a delight to visit and I thoroughly enjoyed enagaging him in conversation about any sport.

He was a wonderful man and I will remember him fondly.

Offering our deepest sympathies during this time.

To all the family of Harry....rabbit, rabbit, rabbit..., all of the Williamses,Karina & Bill, Paul, Heather, Gordon, Kerensa, Bob, Terry and Richard send our sympathies, and thanks for all the many things we did together, PHI ALPHA.

After living next door to Harry and Roy Puls, I can honestly say I can never remember a mean word from him. Harry was always a great guy to be around.

HARRY, YOU WILL ALWAYS BE OUR FAVORITE SPORTS STAR IN "ALL" SPORTS , NOT JUST HOCKEY--WHAT NOBODY KNOWS IS HOW HE STARRED IN HIS SENIOR YEAR AS A HALFBACK FOR THE SAE's BEATING THE SX INTHE CHAMPIONSHIP INTRAMURAL GAME. WE'LL ALWAYS MISS HIM BILL DAHLQUIST & JIM FLOOD--IN THE BONDS

Harry was one of the most genuine people I have ever known. He had a very warm smile & loving heart. I will miss seeing him at the community center & his teddy bear hugs.
My deepest sympathy to his family.

Harry was always a great friend. I'll never forget the last time we had a reunion of the Brothers, I called Harry and he offered
to pick me up at O'Hare and go with him up to the State Park
near Zion. I know God will have a new pair of skates for him.

I remember Harry very well. He was a very positive model for us younger SAEs.
My sympathy to his family. Lloyd Smith '53.

Harry was one of my best friends at the SAE fraternity and the football team at Beloit College and will be sincerely missed. My favorite memory of Harry was how we turned out to be the only "heros" in about a 48-6 loss to Dennison University in 1948 or '49. Beloit was being demolished by Dennison, which was coached by Woody Hayes at the time. I've forgotten the circumstances, but I recovered a Dennison fumble about on their 3-yard line and on our first play Harry ran it in for our lone touchdown and our only highlight of the game. We will dearly miss Harry but so many great memories survive.

I know my brother Dick would be sending his condolences. He was very fond of Harry. Perhaps Harry and Dick will get together soon for their own private reunion. Jerry Donley

All of Harry Sator's Fraternity Brothers from Beloit College before and after his Class of 1950 extend their love to the family of Harry. We would always end our remarks with "BROTHERS IN THE BONDS OF SAE". MAY GOD guide his family as they adjust to the future without this absolutely "HALL OF FAME" gentle soul of a man.

Sally and I are very sorry to learn of Harry's death. He was a fine gentleman and a great guy, and it was fun and a privilege knowimg him and Lois.

My personal relationship with Harry started late in his life. It was my honor to have known such a kind and generous gentlemen. There was always a sports event either on radio or TV if you visited him at home. He was a wonderful friend. I shall miss him.
