October 15, 1943 - October 4, 2025
Robert W. "Bob" Mutchler, age 81, passed away Saturday October 4, 2025 at Ascension All Saints Medical Center. Robert was born in Racine on October 15, 1943, son of the late Max and Mary "Dolly" (nee Plein) Mutchler.
Bob was a proud graduate of St. Catherine's High School "Class of 1962". On November 12, 1966, Bob was united in marriage to his high school sweetheart, Rosalie Konicek. They raised four children, Vincent, Robert, Marialyce, and Kathryn, and shared fifty-nine wonderful years together.
As a student at St. Catherine's High School, Bob played football and participated in theatre. After graduation, Bob worked several jobs before settling at SC Johnson where he held several positions both in Wisconsin and Ohio. Bob was employed with SC Johnson for thirty-three years before retiring in 2001. Bob was deeply respected and admired by his colleagues---honored with one of the largest retirement parties at the time.
After retirement, Bob was passionate about training dogs. He was involved with the Racine Kennel Club for many years and trained countless dogs. Bob also enjoyed reading, traveling, NASCAR, Green Bay Packers and time up north on Musser Lake at his vacation home fishing, enjoying the outdoors and spending quality time with his family and friends. Bob traveled extensively in the United States and around the world including multiple trips to Europe and Africa.
Bob will be dearly missed by his loving wife, Rosalie; children, Vincent Mutchler, Robert (Margaret Loehrke) Mutchler, Marialyce (Brian Rettmann) Mutchler and Kathryn Mutchler; grandchildren, Caroline (Chris) Brown and Agnes-Senga Tupper; great grandchildren, Keelia, Finn and Eloise; in-laws, Beverly Mutchler, Jane Mutchler, Nancy Mutchler, Edward Konicek, Marianne Summers, Mary (Marc) Nielsen; nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends, including life-long best friend Thomas (Jean) Meyers.

My condolences to Bob´s family. I was a fellow manager with Bob on third shift at SCJ. He was a great guy, always pragmatic, cool with his troops and `looked on the bright side´ of life. Wonderful to hear he had a long and family fun filled life. May perpetual light shine upon him!

Dear Rose, I stumbled upon your husband's name in the obits today. I remember you as a really great boss lasting too short of a time at KHDS when Jeanine was there and how she treated you at the time. I offer you sincerest condolences. Much love.

I'm so sorry to hear of Bob's passing, he was my 1st boss at SCJ. Those we love don't go away, they walk beside us every day... unseen, unheard, but always near, still loved, still missed, and very near.

To Rosalie and family. Words are hard to find but please know you are in my thoughts and prayers. Talk about Bob a lot. Remember the good days and the
many hours of fun you had together and you will laugh and cry and heal.
Hugs to all.

I am so sad! I spent far too long (in the neighbor´s opinion) jackjawing with Bob about life and dogs and the shenanigans he used to get up to with my good friend Melvin Manty. He was a treasure. My heart goes out to his family.
