Dear Mrs. Tuttle,

I am deeply saddened to learn of Cutter's passing. We were just talking about him and old times when we worked together on Mr. Manning's farm last Fiday night. He and I believe your brother, saved my life when they pulled me from the apartment where I was sleeping while peanuts on the stove had turned to heavily smoking coals. I would have surely died that day had it not been for them.

Of the many stories and memories, I will always remember That night watching Cutter fry catfish under the shed and the tales he told Coleman and me. He was a truly special man and one of God's great gifts to us all.

I will pray for the healing of your family and remember him always.

Joe, We were very saddened by the loss of Cutter. The first time I met cutter it was at Buddy Boys,when he came in the store to buy a can of spam, he was telling fishing tales of how the fish love spam! What a character!The days we spent on the dock down in Picolata fishing. Listening to the stories of his life. Learning how to fish the river (his tricks of the trade) and seeing him in those bibs! He will never be forgotten. With our deepest sympathy.
