I recently found out about Stewart's passing. I am a Business Associate, and have known the family for many years.

Stewart (Stew) was one of the finest men I have ever had the pleasure of meeting in the Insurance Business. A truly great person, who if your lucky you'll meet once or twice in this lifetime.

May he rest in Peace, and my deepest sympathy to the Family.

Just heard the news of this tragic loss. The Braker children have many wonderful memories of Mr. McCutcheon and family. Stew and Taisy were so wonderful to Dad when our mother passed away not two years ago. The entire McCutcheon clan is in our thoughts and prayers.

The family apologized for the long wait...we stood in line with strangers and found commonality....friends of Kathy who went to catholic church in South part Naperville....and then found out we had common acquaintances....and told stories of Stew and Taisy and the kids....that is just what Stew would have done.... Prayers to all the clan

On behalf of the Mokena Fire Protection District, I wish to offer our deepest sympathy to the McCutcheon family on the passing of Stewart Sr.; Stew was a real asset to the Village of Mokena and will be missed.

May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face; the rains fall soft upon your fields, and until we meet again, May God hold you in the palm of his hand.

Our sincerest

Our sincerest sympathy to Taisy and the family of Stu. We met then at the Renaissance Academy at St. Xavier. our short period of knowing them was long enough to recognize the outgoing character and extreme friendliness of
Stu. He was a wonderful person.
