Robert E. Hutchinson

Dear Freya, Jennifer and Chris,
Like so many who knew him, I was devestated to hear the tragic news of Hutch's fatal accident. I am so very sorry for your tremendous loss.

I loved Hutch, and considered him my mentor. He not only was the best 'boss' I ever had in my long career, but he was also the most professional and had so much class.

He truly cared about everyone in his life and he touched so many people at every level.

Like you and all...

Dear Freya, Jennifer and Chris,

Hutch was one of the most influential people in my life and everyday I remember a little something from him that helps me in my work.

I feel very fortunate that I was able to have lunch with Hutch during a visit to Nashua, last November. He and I shared a special love for baseball and we spent two hours quizzing each other on baseball trivia, discussing our favorite baseball memories and sharing the thrill of the Red Sox World...

Freya -

I didn't work with Hutch at the Regional Office during my c21 years but I came to know him and you via John Hamson and Kelly Hayes, and as a result of our annual holiday get togethers at Joe's. I'm so sorry for your loss. Hutch was a good guy, and he will be sorely missed. Take care.

Dear Freya,

My words cannot express the sorrow I feel with the loss of Hutch. My thoughts and prayers are with you, Jen and Chris.

Hutch left an indelible mark in my heart. He was such a special man and an incredible boss! He brought out the best in everyone who had the privilege of working for him. I have so many fond memories of my days with Hutch and C21. He made us a family! We all loved Hutch and we will miss him.

With deepest sympathy,
...

Dear Freya and family,

My deepest sympathy to you all.

Hutch was such a powerful influence in my life. He invented managing by walking around. Every morning and every afternoon he would walk around the regional office and ask everyone -- yes, everyone -- how they were and if he could help with anything.

His memory will live on in my heart forever. Much love and many prayers to you all.

I was very upset to hear about Hutch. At times, I would say he was like a second father to me. I have so many wonderful memories of him. There are very few people in life that can leave an such a lasting impression in people's hearts, and Hutch was one of of those people. My heart goes out to his family, and all of those whose lives he undoubtably touched. We will all miss him.

I'm so sorry about Hutch, Freya. It is my great privilege to have been touched by him. The direction he helped me take my life changed me forever. He was, to me, the consummate example of "Just do the right thing." I loved him, too...

Dear Freya and Family,

I am so sorry for your loss.

Hutch was a mentor to many people. I would not be quite the person I am today if it weren't for Hutch's influence. Because of Hutch I started an involvement with Easter Seals in 1985 that continues today. He challenged me to become a better person and for that I will be eternally grateful. Hutch's leadership was invaluable to me. He knew his people and how to get the best from them.

Please except...

Freya, We are stunned at the news of Bob's death. We grieve with you and your family. When I think of Bob I will always see the twinkle in his eyes and then his smile. He was a dynamic yet gentle soul, a great and good person who left his mark on everyone he met. Nobody could meet Bob and not be changed for the better.
We pray for you, your children and your grandbabies. We send you our strength and love,
