Elmer Barton Cutherell

There are never enough words to express emotions, especially memories. When someone passes away all we have left are the memories we made with them . . . and sometimes the past emotions can never match present feelings and what must be done is a merging of the two.

Papa loved me as much as I loved him. Smelling him as he smoked his pipe, sitting in his lap sharing popcorn with him as we read the newspaper together. Our favorite was Garfield. Sometimes when there were no comic...

What I learned from my Dad....respect, responsibility, humor, never buy what you can’t afford, pay your bills on time, work hard and do the best that you can, love without words, and so much more. He was a good man, husband, father, grandpa, friend. I will miss him always.

My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family. I am sorry four your loss.

A good honest hard working man. I'm so sorry for the loss. ❤

I am so sorry for your loss . All of you are in my prayers . I’ll never forget him for as long as I live . How many people would buy a horse just so his daughter’s friend (me) could go riding with her (Dorothy) ? Elmer would and did do that . ❤ Love and prayers, Michelle

I remember Uncle Elmer for being a kind and caring person. He played an important role in my sister Ruth's decision to join the Coast Guard. We shared an interest in Cutherell family history in the Great Bridge area of Chesapeake going back many generations. I treasure the pictures that I have of Uncle Elmer and Aunt Dorothy's various horses, goats, and geese, as well as their amazing blackberry bushes. He made this world a better place and will always be remembered.

He was a very good man. Always had time to stop and just chat. I've known him all my life he will be missed. Theresa,Dorothy and Gail if you need anything I here for you.

I remember Uncle Elmer’s deep, quiet, and sloooow voice. Even more, I remember his big slow grin! Our sincere sympathy to Theresa, Dorothy, and Gail, and his grandchildren.
