George Joseph Neuber

George Joseph Neuber, 70, of Rhinelander, passed away on Sunday, February 2, 2025, at his home. He was born on August 29, 1954, in Rhinelander, the son of the late Earl and Aurelia (Meverden) Neuber.

George grew up in Appleton, where he attended Xavier High School. His family moved to Chilton, where he graduated from high school and worked side-by-side with his father on their family amusement business. In 1975, he met and married the love of his life, Jessie Wanty, and together they raised their family on his grandparents’ farm in Chilton. In the late 1990s, George and Jessie made their dream come true by moving to the Northwoods and settling in Rhinelander, where George built their home from the ground up on what he fondly called his “own little piece of heaven.”

A man of many talents, George was always the go-to person when something needed to be built or fixed. Whether it was a car, a home, or any other project, if there was a problem, George was the man to solve it. His unmatched work ethic, attention to detail, and willingness to tackle any challenge made him a master of many trades. George was also always ready to lend a helping hand to others. Whether it was a neighbor in need or a friend facing a tough situation, George’s generosity and willingness to pitch in were evident in everything he did.

Over the years, George accumulated millions of safe driving miles as an over-the-road truck driver, spent over a decade as a master cheesemaker. In 2023, he joined the Wisconsin Potato and Vegetable Growers Association as the Spudmobile Educator and Outreach Administrator, where he shared his passion for agriculture with the public and children at school events and Packers games.

He is survived by his loving wife, Jessie Neuber; children: Seth (Valerie) Neuber, Nathan (Krystin Clemo) Neuber, Matthew (Lindsey) Neuber, and Amber (David) McGinley; grandchildren: Tressie, Sam, Joseph, Mason, Wyatt, Connor and Liberty; his siblings: Peggy Neuber, Marie (Douglas) Fink, and Paul (Cindy) Neuber and many nieces and nephews.

George was preceded in death by his parents, Earl and Aurelia Neuber; and siblings: Cheryl Landwehr and Earl “Manny” Neuber, sister-in-law Jill Schroeder, brother-in-law Wimpy Wanty, father and mother-in-law Bernie and Jennie Wanty.
