Peter Rahn Obituary

Rahn, Peter V. on Sunday November 5, 2017. Beloved husband of the late Norma Rahn (nee Corry); dear father of Nancy (Larry) LaBrier and Gregg (Susan) Rahn; cherished grandfather of Jeffrey (Kimberly) LaBrier, Lindsay (James) Danner, Daniel (Katie), Joseph (Megan), and Scott (Julie) Rahn; great-grandfather of 13. Preceded in death by his parents Peter and Emilie Rahn, and 3 brothers. Our dear uncle, cousin and friend. Pete was known to many in St. Louis as the television critic for the former St. Louis Globe Democrat. During his interesting 47 year career there he witnessed and chronicled the changes in the home entertainment industry from radio to television, to what it is today. He enjoyed his many interviews and experiences with early television and entertainment stars, and entertained St Louis with his daily columns. He also kept his readers informed about the local media scene, and was the recipient of a local Emmy award. He was inducted into the St Louis Media Hall of Fame in 2015. Services: Visitation 11 a.m. until noon service on Thursday, November 9, Immanuel United Church of Christ, 126 Church St, Ferguson MO. Interment to follow at Memorial Park Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations to Southside Early Childhood Center, 2101 S. Jefferson Ave., St. Louis, MO 63104. www.boppchapel.com

My parents, Dottie and Pat Meckfessel, were very close friends with Al and Shirley Corry and through them had a friendship with Norma and Pete. I remember hearing about Pete and his St Louis involvements with the paper and media. I can't attend the service on Thursday because I have a new grandchild I'm babysitting for. I did see this obit notice and want to extend my sympathy to the family. Sincerely,Patti Meckfessel MacDoniels
