Stephen J. Rauscher

It was an honor to work with Steve and his work with the Philadelphia Academies during my career with the School District of Philadelphia. He continually worked to bring opportunities to the young people of Philadelphia. Prayers for his and for his family.

I am so sorry to hear about Steve's passing - he was a wonderful leader who taught me so much about leadership and leading teams through change in my first role at Rohm and Haas. To Steve's family, thank you for sharing Steve with us - he made a difference in so many of our lives!!!

Steve, was a highly focused strong Rohm and Haas leader with a compassionate side. We reconnected last year via our mutual friend Ian Harris. At the time, Steve while very sick was still optimistic about his future. I am saddened by his death but believe he is in a better place now.

To the Rauscher Family,
I was fortunate to work with Steve when he worked at the R&H Louisville Plant. He definitely showed interest in helping steer people in their careers. A group of us including Steve attended a conference in Philly. He gave us a wonderful walking tour with loads of history of the part of the city we were in. He was so genuine and friendly but professional when needed. I am grateful to have known him! Sorry for your loss.

Nancy and family, my deepest condolences. It was a privilege to call Steve a friend. As you know, he literally saved my life and prevented brain damage with CPR in Central Park 20 years ago. It is because of him that I have not only this memory, but any memory.

My condolences to the family.
A tough but fair boss who was so honest with me, helping me to understand what I needed to do to progress my career... and so I did!!
Funny memories about our trip in Spain where all our belongings were stolen so we needed to cut the trip short!!
Thanks Steve!! Forever grateful!!

Nancy and the Rauscher family, I am sad to hear about Steve's passing. Steve was one of many great leaders that had a huge impact on my career. Most notably was his support of my move (with my young family) from the UK to the USA on a "3-4 year assignment" - 30 years on and we are still here and have enjoyed ever minute. It amazes me how Steve (and others) had such a profound impact on my career and my life. For this I will always be very grateful. A great man! - Best wishes!

I knew Steve from his early days at R&H in the good old Burg where we got to know each other and became friends. Steve and I stayed in touch as he moved around for R&H and I remained rooted in the Delaware Valley. We reunited when he came to home office and I had the great pleasure to work with and for him on a project called MRPII which became very successful within R&H. He was an extremely intelligent and quite witty man who rightfully rose in the ranks in R&H. We remained friends until I retired from R&H in 2003. Unfortunately after that we lost touch. He was one of the finest people I have ever met in my life and I will never forget him. Rest in peace, my friend. Dan O'Leary

Stephen,

Thank You for Your service to our country.

God Bless You!
God be with your family!

Sincerely,
A Grateful American

Dear Rauscher family- I am so sad to hear about Steve´s death. He had a large influence on my career first as an engineer in Rohm and Haas Plant and then again when I came back from a job in Mexico to work for him I a new global role. He had the uncanny ability to help all those who worked with him by giving just the right advice but helping to steer all of us collectively to make a great impact. He was truly a great leader but more importantly a great person who cared about many and supported their success. Sending condolences on loss of such a great person

To Nancy and the Rauscher clan, Steve was a great man and I have him to thank for my career in many ways. I will miss him.

Steve was one of the greatest men I have ever had the pleaseure of meeting. I was once told that he said,"I have enough, and I have had enough!" True or not, I will always remember him for that. I hope he had enough and will rest peacefully. Those in his lineage should be proud to have come from an admirable man.
