George was born in Kansasville on Apr. 18, 1927, to Edward and Veronica (nee Sauder) Mutter. He graduated from Burlington High School, and continued to live his entire life in Kansasville, while spending winters in Arizona.
George worked for Reeseman Excavating, doing quarry work. He later worked for Racine County. He was a member of St. Mary’s Church in Dover, and Kansasville Fire Department. He served in the Army during World War II in Italy.
George is survived by his niece, Karen (Robert) Nehls; great-niece, Janet (Dennis) Rakowski; great-nephew, Stephen (Jen) Nehls; great-great niece, Melissa Myszka and many cousins in the Racine and Wautoma areas.

A very special thank you also, to friends, Phil Trimberger, Bernie Goetz, Charlie Fancher and others for making it possible for him to continue living at home, along with the staff at his favorite restaurants; Parkside Café and Mulberries.
