Mrs. Beutter and Family, I had the pleasure of working with Bob at May Oberfell Lorber, as Receptionist, for 14 years. He was such a pleasure to work with and will be missed. His sense of humor, puns, wise cracks, etc, were the best. They were real "eye rollers". May God rest is soul and bring comfort and peace to your family. Martha Tyler

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of Bob. I grew up playing softball with his daughter, and he married my husband and I at the Mishawaka Summerfest in 1990. He was such a kind and caring man. My prayers go out to all his family.

Bob Beutter was a kind man who cared about the City of Mishawaka, it's employees and it's citizens. It was a pleasure for both my husband and myself to work many years under his leadership. He was always ready to greet you with his big smile. Our prayers are with the family as we all mourn the loss of one of Mishawaka's finest.

Dear Beutter Family,
I was deeply saddened to hear about the passing of your dear patriarch.
He was an honorable man and a pillar of the community.
I, along with my brothers Bryan and Dan, had the pleasure of being friends with Brent and Lori while we were growing up. I remember many heated ping pong games at their home and Mary Alice always had delicious chocolate chip cookies afterwards.
Professionally I was the recipient of my Keys to the City of Mishawaka, by Mayor Beutter so generously bestowed upon me and my successful Mishawaka State Volleyball Champion Teams. Memories I'll never forget.
I know this is a difficult time for you all and my prayers are for your strong family bond and your faith to help you cope.
God Bless.

Mr. Beutter hired me as the first city forester for Mishawaka way back in 1987. One of my greatest experiences was helping with the little "park" next to City Hall, and I remember the dedication clearly. Mayor Bob was so proud it it. He was such a wonderful man, kind to his employees. I'm so grateful to him.

Mr. Beutter lives on in his children, grandchildren, & all those who had the honor of knowing him whether as close friends or as acquaintances. The one time we met him, we were smitten by his warmth, humor & kindness. Thank you, Mr. Beutter, for having touched so many lives.

I'm so very sorry to hear about Mr. Mayor's passing - that's what I always called him and he always puffed his chest out a little whenever I said that - he will be greatly missed by all of us at May Oberfell Lorber.
We were privileged to work with him and to get to know him and his wonderful sense of humor that stayed with him to the end. A genuinely nice man and a stellar human being! R.I.P., Mr. Mayor - you will never be forgotten.

Our friendship at IU began as Sigma Chis 53'-57'. We were members of the same pledge class and attended church together when we discovered we were both Lutherans.
We recognized early on that we both appreciated a sense of humor. I will miss the hearty laughs I had from his comments on Christmas cards throughout the years that reflected his sharp wit - which sometimes only he and I could appreciate.
I admired his love and pride for his family - May and his kids - and his lengthy public service. With all he did, he did it with humility.
In Hoc, Barry Gemmer

You were a good friend to my grandparents and a very sweet man! Thank you for being there for the family when my grandma passed away. RIP Mr Beutter, you will be missed!

We had the best experience of moving next door to the Beutter family over 34 years ago and believe me we could not have had better neighbors in the world. From Chuck and Helen to Bob and May and all their children and grand children we shared many laughs and stories. The lake will not be the same without Bob and his great sense of humor, stories and his gardening tips.

Bob was a great classmate who made us all very proud to know him! He will be missed.
