Fairport: On November 15, 2019, the world lost a kind and gentle soul. Neil Stuart Mutschler was born on May 8, 1932 in Rochester, NY to his parents, Elsie Bonney Mutschler and John Brodie Mutschler. Neil was preceded in death by his wife of 58 years, Barbara June Mutschler, his sister, Ann Krischan, and his brother-in-law, Richard Krischan.
Neil is survived by his daughter, Jody Lynn Mutschler and husband Warren Halladay of Palmyra. Their children Ona Halladay (Kate Halladay) and Brodie Halladay-Winder (Brandon Winder) reside in Buffalo. Neil’s son, Jock Brodie Mutschler, wife Linda (Runyon) Mutschler and children, Jordan and Brodie, reside in Milwaukee.
Neil was an avid outdoorsman with a passion for fishing. As Director of Pupil Services, he retired in 1987 from the Fairport School District. He was respected for his compassionate nature and effectiveness in the school districts who benefited from his leadership. To know him was to love him.
The family will greet friends and relatives to celebrate Neil’s life on Monday, December 23 from 3:00-7:00 p.m. at their residence at 2414 Daansen Rd. Palmyra, NY 14522.

Those we love don’t go away,
They walk beside us every day,
Unseen, unheard, but always near,
Still loved, still missed and very dear.
Neil led by example, never asking more than what could be delivered humanely and with common sense. He was well respected locally, his services coveted by local school districts. Fairport was lucky to have him. And I was lucky to count him my friend and father figure. Condolences to his adult children and grandchildren.
Uncle Neil set the bar for what a man should be. Not that he did it intentionally. He was just an amazing, solid, funny and kind person.
