George B. Boetcher Jr.

Surrounded by his loving family, George B. Boetcher Jr., age 75, passed away on Saturday, August 24, 2013, at his residence.  George was born in Racine on August 6, 1938, son of the late Dorothy and George B. Boetcher Sr.

Case Company for thirty years, retiring in 1992.  An avid sports fan, George loved watching the Packers, Cubs and NASCAR racing.  He was quite the handyman, known for building his birdhouses, caring for his meticulous yard and maintaining his swimming pool.  He was a loving and devoted husband, father and grandfather who will be deeply missed.
