Rest well, friend.....the world is a darker place without your wit and wisdom.

Dr. Cutchins was one of my favorite professors at Auburn - among a team of truly outstanding teachers! I gladly join with Dale Colter remembering the extra point questions. I recall one cold winder quarter question that required us to calculate when the eagle cage would fail based on the ice accumulation rate. I will always remember Dr. Cutchins would take time one class day each quarter to share his faith with the class. He lived his faith daily and shared it quarterly with his students...

One of the most personable and caring professors at AU! Dr Cutchin's famous extra credit questions were indicative of this "Auburn Man"--ex: "How many total points were scored in the AU vs UAB men's basketball game on Monday?"

As President of the Lee-Scott Founders Board i want the family to know what a valued member of the Lee-Scott Famikt Dr. Cutchins was. His contribution to Lee Academy and then to be a part of the Founders Board of Lee-Scott Academy was a blessing to all of us that were fortunate to work with him. What a man of God and Family. We were also Blessed to have known him!!

He and John are now together experiencing the unveiled reality of Christ and all they loved to study about His creation. Ask, and you will receive His tender comfort in your grief. Praying for you!

I first met Mac when I was a sophomore at Auburn when I was in one of his Dynamics classes. I had many more classes with Dr. Cutchins over the years and enjoyed them all! He was a man of integrity and one of the most passionate teachers I have ever known! His love of teaching came through in every discussion that I had with him over the last 45 years!

Dr. Cutchins was an inspiration to me & my husband. I worked in Aerospace Engineering as Dr. Brian Thurow´s Assistant. During this time I was responsible for planning our department Christmas Party! He & Mrs. Cutchins´s offered to host the party! We were all so tickled that they shared their home with our department. He told me one thing though.....It will be called A CHRISTMAS PARTY....Not a Holiday Party! I said yes sir and reworded the invitation! He stood his ground for his Lord & Savior...

I was an AE student in the mid-70s and enjoyed Mac's classes. That he loved teaching was obvious, and he had a love for the Lord which also meant a lot to me, a brother in Christ.

I had Dr. Cutchins as a professor in the 1980's and always appreciated his kindness. His enjoyment of teaching and sharing his knowledge and experience made class fun.
