Bernard "Butch" Mount, a beloved husband, step-father, grandfather, brother, and friend, passed away unexpectedly on May 19, 2024. Born on October 17, 1948, in New Brunswick, New Jersey, Butch was raised by his loving parents, Ray and Carmen Mount.

Butch is survived by the love of his life, Mary Mount, his devoted step-daughter Renee (Jim) Palmer, and his cherished grandchildren, Jenna and Jamie Palmer. He is also survived by his siblings, Eddie (Angie) Mount, Doug (Kim) Mount, Dawn (Warren - deceased) Sroczynski and several nieces and nephews.

A man of many talents, Butch was skilled in various jobs and had a plethora of hobbies that kept him active and engaged. His passion for golf was well known, and he was a dedicated member of the Moose Club. One of his most memorable experiences was golfing at the TPC professional golf course in Las Vegas, Nevada, a thrill he cherished deeply.

Butch's love for harness racing was another defining aspect of his life. He spent many years working alongside his wife, Mary, on the harness racing circuit, a venture that brought them closer and enriched their lives with countless memories.

Among his many joys, being a grandfather was paramount. Butch found immense happiness in spending time with his grandchildren, Jenna and Jamie, who were the light of his life. He was called grandpa by many, including his "adopted" grandchildren Nate Zipple, Audra Zipple and the late Callie (Shane Hintz) Zipple. Additionally, he loved being a dog dad to his beloved Snoopy, and all of his other puppies who brought him great comfort and companionship.

Butch's sudden passing leaves a void in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.

A service will be held to honor Butch's memory at Brettschneider-Trettin-Nickel Funeral Chapel on Friday, May 24, 2024 at 1 pm, and visitation before beginning at 12 pm. Interment will take place at Historic Riverside Cemetery in Appleton.  In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the local Humane Society in Butch's name, celebrating his generous spirit and love for life.
