WILLIAM CHARLES MUTH

William Charles Muth, 85, of Roy, Utah, passed away July 5, 2003 in Ogden, Utah.

He was born June 29, 1918 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to Henry C. Muth and Augusta Geisz. He then married Rita June Willis on October 10, 1940.

He served in the U.S. Navy for two years during World War II and retired from Hill Air Force Base in 1972, after working for the U.S. Government for 31 years.

Bill was an avid hunter and fisherman, and enjoyed nothing more than a good day of fishing. A lover of animals and children he could often be found taking care of one of the many dogs he found companionship with, or spending time with his grandchildren.

He is survived by his wife of 62 years, Rita J. Muth, his son Albert (Diane) Muth, daughter Nancy (Bob) Leishman, grandson Morgan Muth, granddaughter Nicole (Ryan) Leishman, grandson Chris Leishman, and beloved great-granddaughter Chelsea Van Sickle, as well as a sister Elizabeth Huffman and two brothers, Robert and Theodore Muth.

He is preceded in death by his oldest son Ronald William Muth, mother Augusta Geisz, father Henry C. Muth, sister Freda Dyer, and two brothers, Henry and John Muth.

He will be laid to rest with his son and parents in Middletown Cemetery, Middletown, Pennsylvania. A memorial service will be held Wednesday July 9, 2003 at 11 a.m. at Our Savior's Lutheran Church in Roy, 5560 South 2300 West, of which he was a member.
