Robert Gutknecht Obituary
Butch was a computer programmer, working for Cummins Engine Co. for many years. He adored working on cars, cherishing old, antique models throughout his decades. Radio control also held his interest; further, he could often be seen riding his e-trike around town.
Butch will be dearly missed by his wife, Diana; his children, Timothy (Karla) Gutknecht, Tammy Gutknecht, Melissa Gutknecht, and Michelle Monroe; six grandchildren; three great grandchildren; his sister, Dianne Regner; and his brothers, Jay and Richard Gutknecht.
In keeping with Butch's wishes, no visitation or service will be observed.
Memorials in Butch's name may be made to Chautauqua Hospice & Palliative Care, 20 W Fairmount Avenue, Lakewood, NY 14750.
To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
