The Elgin community is mourning Chris Mau, owner of the Doctor Who -themed Blue Box Cafe, who died Saturday.
Mau, 54, had been battling melanoma for a year and a half, according to friends and family. His death comes just two months after his wife and cafe co-owner, Kathleen Kenney-Mau, died in February. They were married for more than 13 years.
His mother, Maren Olson of Wheeling, said Mau was a foodie and just adored the cafe, 176 E. Chicago St., known for its espresso coffee and signature sandwiches. The cafe has been a hub for live events, podcast fundraisers, record release parties, live theater, improv, mini comic book conventions and Doctor Who events.
