My deepest sympathies to the Hutter family. For several years, Mr. Hutter was a volunteer in my fourth grade classroom at McCleery Elementary School. He always showed up with a warm smile and an eagerness to help the students with their math. He touched the lives of many and will be greatly missed.

Dear Marilou and Family,
Please accept my sincere sorrow at hearing of Gohl's (Gus's) passing. He and you were so good and kind to me and my kids and perhaps I never really let you know just how much you meant to me back in our younger years. Gohl was such a good man and I know how happy you were together all of these years. I also know how much he treasured you, MaryLou, and rightly so, and also your children. You touched my heart deeply when you came to my parent's Wake. Thank you. I will let my kids know about Gohl. Sending you all lots of love and light to help ease your hearts, Carol
