Henry Natzke was born March 4, 1912, and died Wednesday, Feb. 25, 2004, under
the auspices of Comfort Care and Hospice Services at Bell Tower Residence in
Merrill. As a young man, George was an avid baseball player and played for the Fromm Foxes team in Hamburg. In the fall of the year, he loved to go deer hunting in the Newwood forest in Lincoln County, where the family has a hunting camp. He often visited friends and relatives who are ranchers in South Dakota, where he enjoyed pheasant hunting and helping with the ranching activities. After his retirement, he made daily trips to Champ's Restaurant, where he enjoyed the camaraderie of friends and staff. He will be deeply missed by his family and many friends. George was a
longtime member of St. John's Lutheran Church in Merrill, where he was a devout
member. He especially enjoyed being part of the church choir and was often asked
to be the soloist for the choir. Throughout his life he conducted his business
and personal affairs in an honest and Christian manner. George particularly enjoyed being with his grandchildren and dedicated much of his life to ensuring the well-being of his family. He took particular pleasure in working in his garden and was always eager to share the fruits of that garden with family and friends. George was
preceded in death by his parents, Hubert and Flora; a brother, Ralph, who died
in infancy; three sisters, Ada Goetsch, Eva Utech and Rhoda Pehlke-Utech; two
brothers-in-law, John Goetsch and Reuben Pehlke; and two sisters-in-law, Helen
Joyce (Loud) Natzke and Marie Henson.
