We were family friends with the Shutt’s growing up and Mr. Shutt always treated us like a second family. He was a main who loved his family, God, and his country. We have lost touch with the Shutt’s since moving away, but we will never forget him. He made the world a better place during his 89 years and now makes Heaven a better place for eternity. Respectfully, Fred O’Brien

Uncle Jay was a great man and father figure to me. I enjoyed watching him work on cars. Then he’d take me for rides in them. He will certainly be missed by all those who’s lives he touched. My deepest condolences.
