Mostly, I want to let Marie, Angie, Todd & Katie know how much we appreciate the loving care you've given Bud through the years.

I hope your tender memories will help you with this loss. It's a blessing for him to be free of pain and in a better place. My love to all of you. See you soon. Kerren Dave Hart dhartusu@comcast.net Growing up with the Cutler's, Brenchley's, Eberhart's and others was a privilege and a joy. Bud was two years younger than me and I always considered him a great friend. When the obituary said he excelled at FB, that was certainly true. I was asked to broadcast a game of Bud's his senior year on KPST, because D.A. Nash couldn't be there. I remember he had two TD runs of over 50 yards that were called back due to penalty in the game. I think he may have scored one or two others in that game as well. We had an alumni scrimage against Bud when he was a senior. I was running the ball as an alumnus and Bud was right in front of me. I thought, I'll just lower my shoulder and bull my little neighbor friend right over, since I was much larger than he was. Bud got the best of me in that collision. So much so that it broke my right collar bone in three separate pieces. I had to have surgery to repair it. I love Bud and other Cutlers as well!
