Not sure what to say?

Mr. McCutchen represented me in one of his last cases in the years 2007 through 2011. Not only did he prove to be a great lawyer, at age 92, he proved to be an inspiration. He helped me prevail in one of the most stressful times of my life. I will never forget him. A truly great man. A truly great example to follow as my own years advance.

My parents were very close friends with Tom and Jane McCutchen. I grew up with English.
Mr. McCutchen was a lawyer's lawyer; scholar and friend. He was a great member of the greatest generation. My prayers are with the members to Mr. McCutchen's family.

sailed with Tom and English as a teenager on Lake Murray...Tom was a task master who believed that if you were going to do something, then it should be done to the best of your ability. Tom and Jane were my second family and I believe I spent as much time in their home as I did my own. English was my best friend. Tom will be missed as English is missed. My best to the ladies of the house.

I met Mr. McCutchen only one time at a social event about 5 years ago. He was the father of my Dreher, Citadel and B Company classmate: English McCutchen. Who was one of the top high school basketball players in SC during the 1960s. Mr. McCutchen was an immediate engaging, friendly and extremely intelligent man. I remember that short meeting like it was yesterday. What a truly great man, father, and SC Citizen. We were lucky to have him with us for such a long time.
