I was so saddened to hear of Coach Utterback's passing. He was a wonderful and gentle man with a great sense of humor. I was lucky to be coached by him at JEB Stuart during my time there and he was a great teacher of the game of baseball. I was fortunate to know and play with Kenny who was a chip off the old block, a genuine guy with a great work ethic passed down from his Dad. My thoughts and prayers are with his wife and family at this difficult time.

Deeply saddened to read about Coach Utterback"s passing. What a kind, but passionate man!
He used to pick me up mornings, so I could get to "before school" basketball practice. I think the last time I saw him was 1965, but I never forgot him!
My very best to the family.

We will miss you Uncle Jimmie. You always brought us laughter and built wonderful family memories for us to hold onto. There isn't a person like you who could make anyone feel like they were your best friend! I hope that you've already found your spot on the greens of the golden golf course in Heaven.
