He was a 1981 graduate of Spring Ford High School and a 1987 graduate of Kutztown University. While at Kutztown, he joined the Army ROTC and began his lifetime career with the Army National Guard.
He impacted so many lives and touched so many hearts. He loved his family, but most of all, he loved God, country and family.
Captain Promotable Cuthbert was a recipient of several Army awards including the Army Commendation Medal with one oak leaf cluster, the Army Achievement Medal with two oak leaf clusters, the Armed Forces Reserve Medal with Silver Hourglass and an “M” device and the Army Reserve Component Achievement Medal with four oak leaf clusters.

He has served as an officer in the Chemical Corps, Quartermaster Corps and Logistics Corps.
He attended Crossroads Community Church, Leesport.
He will be sadly missed by his entire family.
In addition to his wife and parents, survivors include his sister, Kelly R. (Cuthbert) Alderfer, wife of Troy, East Greenville, and his two nephews, Dalton and Chase, whom he loved to play with as much as he could.
He enjoyed participating in the Renaissance Faire, where he met his wife. He was also a model train enthusiast and enjoyed entertaining friends and family.
A celebration of his life will be held Thursday, with visitation from 7 to 9 p.m., at Burkey & Driscoll Funeral Home Inc., 40 S. 4th St., Hamburg,
