I had the pleasure of working with Paul at Highland High school. He built sets for school plays and ran the stage crew, I helped paint and helped students paint sets. Paul was so helpful and ready to assist with school plays and activities. He was kind and developed a great and trusting relationship with students and faculty. He also had a quick and fun sense of humor.
I was sad when he retired, but glad he was able to spend time with family and friends, and had opportunities to serve in Church missions. I was blessed to have known and share time with Paul at Highland High.
Sending virtual hugs to the family, I will keep you in my prayers.

I worked with Paul at Highland High School. He was over stage crew and built many sets for school plays. I helped my students in painting sets, so we were often working together. He was kind and respectful to me and my students, and patient with all students. Paul was so great to work with. My heart goes out to the family at this difficult time. My best wishes to you. Mr. Cutrer was a loved and respected Educator.

Mr. Cutrer taught me many things as a teacher that I still use in life today. An amazing teacher but an even better Stage Crew leader. Rest well Sir, until we meet again.

I attended the Highland musical tonight and learned that Paul had recently passed away. Allow me to express my condolences. He was a leader and inspiration to the stage crew students and made a different in so many lives. He was a good friend and colleague and I regret that I didn't see his obituary and wasn't able to attending the viewing. I think of him often: his wit, his warmth, and his inventiveness. He will be deeply missed.

I was sad to hear that the most moral man that I was ever privileged to know had died, but I know that he lives in heaven. Paul and (Virginia) and my wife met in the Philippines. Paul and I met while stationed at Clark AB.We worked together and were neighbors.
they were a team and he lived his religion without judging other which I admired. They visited us recently in PA and we had a grand reunion. Our hearts go out to VA whose is also a wonderful person and in the PI a great babysitter. I cannot believe there is a better couple, God bless. Burgess and Jane Roe.

I knew Paul when I taught at Highland, and later when he was running Copy Quick. He was a fine man. And professionally he was one of the most resourceful and inventive guys I have ever known. I'll miss him.
