Bobby Ray Clutter

Bobby Ray CLUTTER Bobby (Bob) R Clutter, 78, of Bothell, Washington, died August 9th, 2009, after a courageous battle with cancer. Born April 7th, 1931 in Dallas Texas, he was the son of Raymond and Mary Clutter and brother to Opal. In the early 1950's he served in Korea with the U.S. Army where he was trained as a cook and began a lifelong vocational infatuation. As a chef he owned restaurants in Kansas and Texas and indulged his desire for adventure with jobs in Guam, on tug boats in the rivers of Viet Nam, in Alaska on Bering Sea fishing boats and on the oil pipeline in Prudhoe Bay and in the Brooks Range. He is survived by Rachel Clutter of Magna UT, his high school sweetheart, wife and loving mother to his treasured children, Michael (Brenda) Clutter of Bothell WA,; Martin (Cheryl) Clutter of Medical Lake WA,; Michelle (Joe Mercer) of Las Vegas NV.; Marissa Clutter of Kearns UT,; Maureen (Rusty Baeza) of Las Vegas NV, and his beautiful grandchildren Justine, Roberta, Curtis, Tracy, Erin, Stephanie, Ryan and Ethan. Bob was sadly preceded in death by his beloved wife, Katherine (Shipe) Clutter with whom he shared twenty short, wonderful years in Arlington Texas. They were a loving couple whose kindness and generosity benefited the many friends and acquaintances made through Clutter's Hickory House in Grand Prairie Texas. He always had the utmost appreciation for life and living yet he bravely faced his illness knowing he'd soon be reunited with Katherine in heaven. His family and friends gathered to celebrate Bob's life and like Katherine, his ashes will be scattered in the waters of Prince William Sound. Bob was exceptionally grateful for the kind and truly inspired care givers of the Cascade Cancer Center, the Evergreen Hospital Medical Center and A Loving Heart AFH.
