Praying for the Hutchinson Family. God bless you all. Mr. Hutchinson was one of my favorite teachers. He was my 6th grade teacher at Locke School and very smart. A very teacher also!

Hutch would host meetings of "Class Act" which was our social club of mostly educators, and which held an "all white attire" summer party and a winter holiday party. I will miss his laid back attitude and his gracious hospitality.

My Prayers and Condolences to Anthony and Family

Min. H. Carl Gary IHS

March 12, 2023

Hutchinson family, I offer you all my deepest condolences on behalf of the transition of your loved one. I remember Mr Hutchinson, while attending Locke School as a youth. I remember him as an extraordinary individual and teacher. We looked upon him as a role model for us as students and we grew to learn to follow his good examples and how to behave and grow as good men (individuals). He was always a dresser and always held himself as a professional, who had a passion for his craft as a teacher. His legacy will be remembered by myself and countless others. It is my prayer that God bless you Hutchinson family as Mr. Hutchinson rest in the promise of Jesus Christ.

Anthony & family,

Hutch's at peace. Think of the good times and smile. For comfort read Ecclesiastes 3:1-15,17,19,20,22. When I worked school city, Your father and I'd talked daily having good conversations along with some good laughs. May The Creator bring you peace during this time.
