"Johnny"Cuthbertson was a gentle,unpretentious man who was dedicated to his wife and family.We met in 1944 at Tilden Technical High School and became fast friends. "John" came to Tilden from the "Bridgeport" neighborhood and made a splendid record.He was President of the 1948 graduating class, Captain of the swim team,and President of the Lettermen's Club.
To Marie and the children we offer our sympathy and the reminder that his good life has left lasting memories.
We are less for his loss.
