ROBERT KUTNER Obituary

KUTNER, Robert "Bob" Bob Kutner, age 72, of Wayland, formerly of Auburndale and Plymouth, passed away on January 31, 2024. Bob was the beloved husband of Lenna (Boroff) Kutner and the devoted father of Daniel Kutner. He also leaves his brother Richard Kutner and wife Susan of San Marcos, CA, his sister Janet Kutner of Wayland, niece Lindsay Talley, her husband Eric and their sons, niece Lauren Ogden, her husband Tobias and their daughter. Bob had been a partner in the law firm of Casner & Edwards for over 30 years, retiring in 2017 from his practice of professional liability and real estate-related litigation. He grew up in Newark and Wilmington, Delaware, son of the late Abraham and Dorothy Kutner. Falling in love with the Boston area while attending Harvard University, Bob returned to the city after obtaining his degree from Columbia Law School, settling first in Brighton and then in Newton with Lenna. Bob was an avid sports fan with a passion for Boston teams, which he shared and nurtured in his son Dan. He also loved travel, and over the course of his life visited many far-reaching corners of the world. In later years, he and Lenna purchased a lakeside summer home in Plymouth and enjoyed the more serene lifestyle of boating and entertaining friends. Bob continuously amazed and inspired family, friends and colleagues with his resilience and determination to live life fully in the face of 28 years of medical challenges. Condolence calls may be made at the home of Lenna Kutner on Friday, February 2nd from 4pm to 8pm. A Celebration of Life is being planned for a date in late May. Interment will be private. In lieu of flowers, gifts may be made to Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Bob's memory to support cancer research and patient care at: Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, P.O. Box 849168, Boston, MA 02284 or via dana-farber.org/gift

Bob was a great lawyer and terrific person. I had the honor and pleasure of opposing him in many occasions. While always advocating ably for his clients, he was ever the gentleman. I am blessed to have known him. Bob Holloway

Bob was a wonderful (hardworking and creative) attorney.
He wanted us all to adhere to the highest standards...in our real-estate profession.
