On April 3, 2007 my father went to his final resting place after many months of pain and suffering. Everyone keeps telling me that he is no longer suffering and I shoud be glad of this. I am glad he is no longer suffering but it doesn't take away the pain and suffering that I as his daughter am going through. Supposabley time will heal that, but it seems to be
standing still.
I don't want to remember his pain I want to remember all the wonderful times we had groing up, the hours he would spend teaching us to ride a bike, hold a jump rope,playhopscoth with us and play softball as a family. A special memory is when I took a sewing class in school and he taught me how to cut out a pattern. I remember our trips to the beach after he would come home from a long day of work and we would dive off his shoulders. He always had time to spend with us, his three daughters, even when he was tired.
He taught us to care and respect each other and instilled common sense values in us. I hope that I have instilled these values in my children and they will pass them on to theirs. I will be looking for them in my children and grandchildren for he lives on in them.
One of the last things he said was that he had such a wonderful family that he loved so much and didn't want to leave them. Daddy you are gone now but will not be forgotten.
I love you and miss you.

A Real Hero
Joseph W. Cutrell
1923 - 2007
Grandaddy was a man of courage, love, virtue, dedication and compassion.
For as long as I can remember, Grandaddy was not only a hero for his county, but for his family.
As a young man, he had the courage to serve our country honorably in the United States Army 88th Division during WWII. I knew he was a real hero when I saw the arm band of a Nazi soldier in his scrapbook.
As he suffered with cancer during the last few months of his life, he demonstrated the greatest courage. He remained strong for his wife, three daughters, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. When many would have given up, his zest for life and love for his family gave him the courage to fight the progressive disease with all his strength. He left this world with dignity and compassion for his family.
His greatest joy in life was his family. I know he touched each of us in a special way.
As a small child, I remember visiting him almost every weekend and I would love to just sit on his lap, give a big hug and find the Chicklet gum in his pocket. He was always full of energy and loved to work on his car. My mom knew she could count on him to keep our car in working order. He always had a smile on his face and loved to tease the little ones! Well, not just the little ones, but the dogs too! He had a great love for dogs, which he has passed down to my mother and me.
As I grew older, I treasured hearing stories from his past and all the mischief he got into as a child. I loved hearing how his car of ten years had 5,000 miles on it and how much his house cost 50 years ago! He had an amazing memory and interesting stories to tell, like the time his Battalion was captured by Germans and how they were liberated just before being shot.
Even though they loved to pick on each other, the love of his life was my Granny, known as “Gert” to him. Granny was by his side and took care of him during a very difficult time. After 64 years of marriage, they had the kind of love that stood the test of time. One of the last things he said to me was how wonderful she was and how much he loved all of his family.
I hope to pass on to my son, Brent, the courage, love, virtue, dedication and compassion he demonstrated during his life. I hope my son and others appreciate and understand that the freedoms we enjoy today are due to the heroes of the past. My Grandaddy will always be a hero to me. I will love him forever and he will always have a special place in my heart.

My grandaddy was a great and honorable man. My fondest memory of him, is that whenever you tell him you love him, he always said "same to ya sugar" which I crave to hear just one more time. I love you grandaddy and I KNOW that you will be watching over us from heaven. We will miss you more than I could ever put into words.
Your loving grandaughter and family,
Heather, Jason, Jadyn and Ryan
