Will Hutchins

Babs so sorry for your loss. Will was an awesome person. He is watching over us now. Hope to talk soon. Love you

My husband Ron and I met Will and his lovely wife Barbara ("Babs") on November 30th, 1984. We had been invited to a weekend Western event in Kerrville, Texas. The first evening there, a buffet dinner was served, and by the time Ron and I had filled our plates, there were no empty tables. What we did find was a table for four with only two people sitting at it (Will and Barbara). Not knowing them, we asked if we could join them... and that was the beginning of a close life-long friendship. The four of us quickly discovered we had a lot in common, and that entire weekend we were joined at the hip. For the next 12 years (until they moved to Long Island), we shared many dinners (including Thanksgiving dinners), went to events and on trips together. Babs and I started a greeting card business together and were both part of a "girls´ night out" group of five. I visited them in NY once on my own, and Ron and I visited together one other time, but Babs and I always stayed in touch via phone, email and text. Ron and I faithfully followed Will´s appearances and columns and cheered him on from afar.

A gentle and humble man, Will was a first-class story and joke-teller, a film buff of the highest degree, and he could talk politics at the drop of a hat. He was unpretentious about his talent and greatly appreciated his fan base-spending untold hours devotedly responding to their communications with hand-written cards and letters. In fact, several of his fans became friends. Give him a few balloons, and he´d twist them into an adorable animal. Ask him about an obscure old movie, and he´d know the full cast as well as the director and what other movies they´d done. He loved to reminisce about old Hollywood. But on top of Will´s list of what he valued most was his loving, supportive, passionate wife, Babs. Babs, whose beautiful smile could light up any room-the same Babs who so adeptly took care of Will when he became ill and fought ferociously to make sure he had the best healthcare possible. They were devoted to each other and made a great team!

I will missed you. Rest in Peace

You don´t know me but I know you Sugarfoot! I grew up with you and so many other cowboys during my childhood. I can still sing (most) of the theme song´s words. You even made an appearance at one of our Glen Cove Downtown Sounds concerts. I was so thrilled! Rest in Peace and may God bless you

Prayers and condolences to all of Will Hutchins's family!
I, as so many, loved all of his work in the "Sugarfoot" series, as well as the work in the different episodes with Clint Walker (Cheyenne) and
Ty Hardin (Bronco Lane). May you Rest In Peace, Will, in Jesus's name.

My condolences to Mr. Hutchins family. I grew up with"Sugarfoot" and the other WB cowboys. They were great roll models for a young boy. He also did fine work in "Merrill´s Marauders" and "Hey Landlord". Thanks also for his Army service. God Bless.

God bless the family. Rest in peace.

He is last of the Warner Brothers cowboys. They were a positive influence on me and hundreds of thousands of youngsters every week. You all will be missed dearly. God bless you all.

In 1959 I was in 3rd grade at DT Davis elementary school. We had an assignment to write a letter to A famous person. I chose Will to send my letter to. A few weeks later I got a letter and autographed photo back from my favorite tv cowboy, Sugarfoot. I was one happy 9year old. I still remember the theme song. RIP ol´ podner.

Psychic to the Stars John Cohan says I knew Will since the days he worked at Warner Bros.. Out of the many times/incidents, I recall helping him when he was married to Carol Burnett's sister Chris, too, way back....Yes, he was a sweet soul and a delightful man to have as a friend.. He will be missed but never forgotten..

Still a wonderful childhood memory. I loved Sugarfoot and even named my puppy Sugar in his honor years ago. I hope you didn't mind. Rest in Peace, Will.

I remember sitting at the same table as Well and his wife at the cancer survivors luncheon at the Dematis Center. They were such lovely people and very kind and funny. His wife was so attentive to him and you could see the love between them. So sorry for your loss but just know that you found love with a lot of people don´t find. And the next year he wrote a horse up the driveway too the luncheon. I remember that well it was a Palomino. Nice people do exist. Brenda Hersch.
