Tim Kratochvil was, above all else, a Saluki. The Saluki Hall of Famer and longtime public schools administrator in Pawnee, Illinois, passed away unexpectedly on Saturday, Sept. 23. He was 49. According to Alex Morell, a 2022 Pawnee graduate, it was rare that a day went by that Kratochvil wasn’t supporting the Salukis. Advertisement Morell.
