Don was a great guy who truly enjoyed his job and was good at it. I got to work with him more recently, but have always talked to him over the years about his kids. He was very proud of his children and very excited about his new wife. I will miss seeing him around the Operating Room. I hope that his family will find peace in knowing that many people that you don't know liked him and cared about him

My heart goes out to the family of Don Hutton. The doctors in my practice have nothing but good things to say about him and have enjoyed working with him. I have only been in communication with Don on a few occasions, but he has always had a pleasant spirit about him and always willing to help. May you all find peace in the midst of this storm and dwell in the great memories of his life.

David, my other favorite nephew, you and Jay were so different yet both ended up in the medical field and were as animated talking with each other as when you were growing up together. Who knew what mischief you were getting into with your heads together as little boys! You were the one to take chances yet Jay tried to jump out a window into a tree to save a cat. He was a rescuer with a tender heart. I know you and Brenda will miss him, but you have so many memories together. I am sure they will bring a smile to your face thinking of them. He is gone in flesh but still in our hearts.

(Aunt) Wanda Yochum

Erika and Brandy, your dad loved you so much. I am sorry that you lost him so young. Barbara, he was so proud to have you for a sister. He always spoke of you with such pride and happiness. And when you married, he loved Ferdinand, too. Carolyn and Bob, Don and Jean, what can I say. Losing a child is something no parent should have to experience.
Jay had the most patience of anyone I ever knew and eyelashes that only a girl should have had! He was always considerate of others and I never saw him get flustered--he took everything in stride. He found the good in everyone, and I will miss him but will never forget him. He was one of my favorite nephews.
