Robert Emery Cutler
April 16, 2005 — July 10, 2005
General Douglas MacArthur once said that old soldiers never die, they just fade away. If this is the case, then SFC Robert “Bob” Emery Cutler, 87, faded away at home on July 10, 2005. Bob was born on April 16, 1918, in Salina, Utah, to Louis Cutler and Irene Long Cutler. He spent his early years in Provo where he met VirJeanne Carroll Duke. They were married by an LDS chaplain on July 20, 1941, on the lawn of a California high school.
Bob served in the South Pacific during World War II where he received a Purple Heart and a Bronze Star. He also served in occupied Japan. Later he was called to duty in Korea. In January of 1955 he was reassigned to the Army Reserve Center in Logan where he remained until the end of his military career. After serving with honor and distinction for 30 years, Bob officially retired in 1968. However, he enjoyed his involvement with the Army so much, he continued to work at the Reserve Center as a civilian.
Bob was known best for two things: his immaculately manicured yard (no weed dared venture into his domain) and his intense love of cars. Even after fifteen years of use, his Lincoln Town Car still had that new car smell.
Bob is survived by his daughter, Patsy, and six grandchildren, Karie, Devin (Nicole), Jonathan, Amanda, Kristiana, and Meagan, plus seven great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his wife of 62 years, his daughter, Carol Cutler Messerly, his sister Maxine and brother Morris.
A viewing for friends and family will be held July 13, 2005, from noon to 12:45 p.m. at Allen-Hall Mortuary, 34 East Center, Logan, Utah. Graveside services with military honors will be at 1 p.m. in Logan City Cemetery under the direction of Allen-Hall Mortuaries.
A special thanks goes out to Community Nursing Services for all their love and help in Bob’s last days, especially Collete, Julie, Marilyn and Mark. The family appreciates their commitment to letting Bob die with dignity. Another thanks goes out to Dr. Steven Salisbury for seeing the family though yet another passing of a loved one.
Condolences may be sent to the family and a guestbook signed at www.allenmortuaries.net
