Robert (Bob) Mutter Obituary

Robert (Bob) Mutter, 81, passed away in his home at Crescent Beach on June 6, 2014. He was born in Mullens, W.Va., on June 12, 1932. He served during the Korean War in the United States Navy and was stationed in Jacksonville, Fla., on the USS Coral Seas. Following his naval service, he moved to Virginia to begin a career as a trainman for the Norfolk and Southern Railway. In just two years, he returned to the St. Augustine area, making Florida his permanent home. After a 38-year career on the railroad he retired from the CSX Transportation as a conductor on freight trains in the early 1990s.

Bob was a member of the F&AM Masonic Lodge #183 of Hastings and the American Legion Post 102, also of Hastings, and St. Paul's Episcopal Church, Federal Point. He was an avid fisherman and golfer and especially enjoyed his time with his friends and family.

Bob was predeceased by his parents, William and Melita Mutter; his sister, Jane Lowe; and his brothers, William, James, Leroy and Dale Mutter, all of West Virginia. He is survived by his wife, Sue Glass; his daughters, Lynn (John) Harb and Gail (Mike) Oliver; three grandchildren, Holly (Phil) Nover, Michael (Katherine) Bush and Matthew Harb. He is also survived by five great-grandchildren, Parker, Marshall and Collin Bush, Colton and Beckett Nover; his sisters, Ann Hayworth of Amigo, W.Va., Patty Collingsworth of Martinsville, Va., and Gail Mutter of Eden, N.C., along with several nieces and nephews.

In lieu of flowers, those wishing may make a contribution in Bob's name to Society for Prevention to Cruelty to Animals (SPCA of Florida) 5850 Brannen Road South, Lakeland, FL 33183 or to the Council of Aging, 180 Marine St., St. Augustine, FL 32084.

We will miss you dearly Uncle Bob. You were always one of my favorites. Michael & I will always cherish the time we could spend with you, especially those days on your boat and cleaning the fish afterwards.

The passing of Bob Mutter represents the end of an era at Crescent Beach, FL. He had too many friends to count because of his kindness and caring nature. We all,and I personally, will miss him sorely.
But I rest happy in the knowledge that he is out of pain and in the hands of his Maker forever.
We'll see you again Bob.
