George H. Reitmeyer, age 92, of Southbrook Manor, 3400 Yorkshire Lane, Manitowoc, passed away peacefully on Sunday morning, January 29, 2012.
George was born in Cato, on August 7, 1919, son of the late Joseph and Emma (Yohanek) Reitmeyer. He graduated from Lincoln High School in 1938. He entered the U.S. Army in June 1941, attended the Sperry Searchlight School in Brooklyn, NY and served until his honorable discharge in December, 1945, achieving the rank of Technical Sergeant in the Coast Artillery during World War II. In July of 1948, George married Betty Meulemans at St. Patrick Catholic Church in Maple Grove. Together, they owned and operated Reitmeyer's Bar for 46 years. During that time, George practiced his artistic talents in lettering signs and trucks. He also painted landscapes and wildlife scenes. He worked at Ariens Company for 12 years.

George enjoyed sharing their cabin near Crivitz with family and friends where they hunted deer and fished for brook trout. In 1992, George and Betty moved to Whitelaw where they lived for 18 years before moving to Manitowoc in 2010.
