    Needless to say I was shocked when Darren gave me the sad news. Heaven won't be the same now as you were one of a kind my friend. I loved just listening to you tell stories. You were a great friend and co-worker - i love the nickname you gave me (half-pint) Don't think I ever told you. RIP

    Hearing about this one was extremely tough! It can't be understated when it came to Hutch's character! He was one of those rarest of breeds that whether he knew you or not, if you walked by him, he would acknowledge or take time to chat! To him everyone was a human being, no one better than anyone else! I always said to him "us sunny dispositioned and people person guys hafta stick together" and he'd laugh! To my fellow Duke basketball fandom member and longtime friend - R.I.P. Hutch for the good that is God now has your goodness right nearby!

    Even though we've rarely talked in many years, I still consider Paul one of my best friends. We were friends from elementary through high school and beyond. I loved to talk to him about his trout fishing and believe he was one of the best trout fishermen in the whole state. Going to his cabin with his dad is just one of the memories I will never forget. (Go bigfoot!) Riding with him on his Honda 3 wheeler and fishing in the neighbors creek are just a little of the fun we had when we were young. I will miss Paul greatly.

    Hutch...you were the best of the best! You were the kind of person that had a kind word and hug if I saw you once in 15 years or every day! You will be greatly missed and you were certainly loved! Rest easy Pookie❤️

    God broke the mold when he made you Hutch. I guess he realized just how special you are that he wanted you back. I will miss your bragging posts, which of course were well deserved. Rest easy Pookie! 💗
