George Kenneth Schultz

September 14, 1938 - May 18, 2018

George Kenneth Schultz, age 79, passed away on May 18, 2018 at his residence surrounded by his family. George was born in Racine, WI on September 14, 1938 to John and Wilhelmina (nee Christenson) Schultz. He was educated in area schools and proudly served his country in the United States Army. On June 7, 1958, George was united in marriage to Nancy Bertram at Gethsemane Lutheran Church in Racine. He was employed as a technician for AT&T for 33 years until his retirement in 1990. George then worked as the Volunteer Coordinator of Behavioral Sciences at All Saints Hospital for 16 years. George was a longtime member of Gethsemane Lutheran Church. He was quick to share a joke, and enjoyed fishing, crossword puzzles, and gardening. George was an avid bike rider. George took great pride in being self-sufficient. He had a knack for making broken things work again and was a master at making things last. One of his favorite saying was “Etched in Stone.” Above all, George loved his family and adored every grandchild. Left to cherish George’s memory are his wife, Nancy; his children: Gary (Linda) Schultz, Diane (Tim) Beres, Lynne (Tom) Blodgett, and Eric (Renata) Schultz; his grandchildren: Alissa, Aaron, Katelyn, Jacob, Ellen, Kari, Staci, Jack, Tad, Carolyn, and Kathryn; his brother, John (Mary) Schultz, and nieces and nephews. George was preceded in death by his parents. On Tuesday, May 29, 2018, there will be a visitation held at Wilson Funeral Home (1212 Lathrop Ave.) from 11:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. A private service and inurnment at Mound Cemetery will take place at the convenience of the family. In lieu of flowers, the family has suggested memorials in George’s name be made to the Mayo Clinic or a charity of one’s choice. The family wishes to extend a special thank you to friends: Bob B., Tammy and Jerry, Cheryl and Steve, John and Anne, and Ascension Hospice Nurse Julie for the kindness and compassion shown to George and the family during this time.
