Sent:  5/19/2010 From: Lisa Miller   Lancaster Relationship:  neighbor Mr. Cutting had a special bond with my 9 year old son. They both shared the same birthday and shared a love for the Red Sox. Mr Cutting used to walk by our house often and if my son was outside playing baseball, they would chat about the Red Sox and were known to exchange little gifts like books and autographed memorobilia. We always looked forward to seeing Mr. Cutting headed up the sidewalk pushing his walker and really enjoyed his company. He was a very kind and gentle soul. We'll miss his presence in the neighborhood! Our sincere condolences to his family. Sent:  5/19/2010 From: Amy Landry   Lancaster Relationship:  Friend Linda we love you!
