Dr. George Mustric Obituary
1938 - 2021
Dr. George J. Mustric, 82, passed away Friday, January 15, 2021, at Dublin Retirement Village, surrounded by his loving family. George was born on May 9, 1938 to the late James and Sylvia Mustric. Preceded in death by his wife Diane L. Mustric; and survived by his son, Gregory (Sarah) Mustric; daughters, Tiffany (Jonathan) Smiley, and Courtney (Evan) Bailey; brother, Dr. Steven Mustric; and 3 grandchildren. He is also survived by his sister-in-law and brothers-in-law, Shirley and Bob Landthorn, and Bert Puskas; as well as numerous nieces and nephews. George graduated from Wadsworth High School, Class of '56, and received his Bachelor of Science from University of Akron. Subsequently, he obtained his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from The Ohio State University School of Dentistry in 1964. He owned and operated a successful dental practice in Clintonville. He had a love for gardening and was known for making his famous pepper salsa every summer. He enjoyed playing tennis, running, reading in his den, and showing Grand Champion standard poodles with his wife, Diane. He left a positive impact on everyone he met, and his Christian faith was an important part of his life.

We are so sorry to hear of George's passing. We knew the family years ago when they lived in Wadsworth, Ohio. Our families came from the same town in Europe. Our deepest sympathies to the family.

Dr. Mustric was a fun loving gentle soul. He will be greatly missed. I enjoyed the many years of working with him. He always had a loving greeting smile.

Dr. Mustric had been my dentist since 1984 until he retired. He took a patient terrified of the dentist, never laughed at me, and made sure I was comfortable before any work commenced.
He was kind, compassionate and oh my, what a sense of humor! He would laugh when I would say I watched The Marathon Man in preparation of the visit! No matter whatever duress I was under, he had a smile, a laugh and compassion.
My daughters, both adults now have fond memories of Dr. Mustric and when I shared the news today, they exclaimed “no way!! Not Dr. Mustric!!” He is the standard by which all general dentists are judged.
My thoughts are with the family and friends and hope as time passes, happy memories will prevail.

Dr. Mustric was a kind, gentle and funny person to be around. He had been my dentist from 1975 until he sold his practice. People just never understood way I wasn’t afraid to go to the dentist. I would say ‘if you had a dentist like mine you would understand’. He will be surely missed. My condolences to the Mustric family.
