Lutz started working for First National Bank of Waterloo on January 12, 1976, as a teller and then started in the New Accounts department a couple of years later. In 1986, he went to the North Banking Center to help with the opening of that branch as a Center Manager and Loan Officer and has stayed there since. Lutz said the bank has come a long way from manual logging and balancing to doing everything on computers now, but some things are still the same.
“No matter how our processes have changed, our level of service and commitment to each other and our customers is what I’m was most proud of,” said Lutz. “I’m going to greatly miss the people, employees and customers alike.”
Once retired, Lutz plans to continue playing music and singing with the Waterloo Municipal Band, Barbershoppers and Bud Light Brigade.
