Racine-Robert John Muto, 58, passed away at WHF-All Saints on Tuesday, March 06, 2012. Bob was born in Chicago, Illinois on August 31, 1953, son of Joseph and Lisa (nee: Cheleli) Muto, but had been a Racine area resident since childhood. He was a graduate of Case High School. On June 8, 1998 he was united in marriage to Karen M. Goessl.
