Aunt Pat, J. Scott, Kandl, Kerri, Angie and family, my thoughts are with you all. I will remember my Uncle James for his great intellect, humor and compassion. Although there were so many miles between us, I always knew that I had his support and love. He will be greatly missed.

To all of the Hutchison family you have my deepest sympathy Ira was a great man and was an inspiration to us all. It was 1995 One time in California over cousin Darlene's he sat down with me and took the time to listen to my problems for about 2 hrs. He was just a humble man eventhough he had accomplished so much at the time....Dana Charles Hutchison Jr.

To the Hutchison Family I have always looked up my cousin my whole life he has been an inspiration to all of us. We not only lose a fine man but a great family man I remember when I last spoke to him and I was feeling really down and he took the time to have a long talk with me about my life. I will never forget that time at Cousin Darlene's house in Inglewood,CA it was about 1991. Some years later you guys open up your house to my 3 daughters Cherie,Ambrosia, and Samantha Hutchison and cooked for them and they always talked about how cousin Ira was so nice to them. To the Hutchison family my deepest sympathy for your loss.
