MICHAEL BARON HUTSON

1938 – 2024 Baseball lost one of its greatest fans with the passing of Michael Baron Hutson on December 15, 2024, in Cobourg, Ontario, at the age of 86. He was the beloved husband of Carole; a loving father to Kendall and Rochelle; and father-in-law to Colin Robinson and Steve Hayr. Michael was a cherished grandfather to Jack, Charlie, and Zoe; and a step-grandfather to Jordan and Gemma Hayr. Michael had a strong entrepreneurial spirit from the age of nine, selling newspapers and Christmas cards in Toronto. He went on to become the National Sales Manager of Royal Doulton Canada, where he worked for nearly 30 years, followed by owning a successful retail sports business. Michael's focus was always on his family. He was full of optimism with a steadying presence. Often reminding the family that "the best is yet to come!" After moving to Cobourg, Ontario, Michael enjoyed his beautiful garden and spent his retirement years surrounded by the love of his family and friends and the tranquility of his home.
