Sgt. Robert Lee "Hutch" Hutchison Obituary (1936

Sgt. Robert Lee "Hutch" Hutchison, 82, of Niles, passed away on Thursday, August 30, 2018 at Buchanan Meadows. He was born on February 19, 1936 in Sawyer, MI to the late Paul and Alice Hutchison. On April 9, 1955, he married the love of his life Doris Schau. He was a Veteran of the United States Airforce, retired Buchanan City Police Officer, and served many years on American Legion Honor Guard. Hutch was also a bus driver in Ohio for special needs children as well as working at Walt Disney with his wife for several years. When the B.C.Y.F and Apple Festival came around you could always find them volunteering. Hutch was an avid Michigan fan who visited the big house many times: Hutch and Doris could also be seen Friday nights enjoying the Buchanan football games. He also loved having "cool" cars and an immaculate yard. If he wasn't working in the yard or driving his cool car in a parade he'd be out riding his motorcycle with his wife. He received the Oldest Rider Award of the year at Burn Run. He is survived by his wife of 63 years, Doris; children, Robin (Timothy) Berry, Kimberly (Donald) Calkins, Stacye (Timothy) Mosier, Robert Lee (Melanie) Hutchison Jr; 11 grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren. Hutch is preceded in death by his parents, Paul and Alice; brothers, Richard Hutchison, Larry Hutchison; and twin sister, Barbara Mitchell. Family will have a celebration of life at the American Legion at a later date. Burial will take place at Oak Ridge Cemetery at a later date.
