Anyone who was lucky enough to have known Hutch will remember him for his generosity, his charisma, his sense of family and community, his laughter, his attention to detail, his hunger for learning, his work ethic as a Geologist and a volunteer, his love of adventure, his repertoire of really bad dad/grandpa jokes, his pride in Canada, and his empathy towards others.
Hutch was a loyal and caring husband to his wife of 64 years, Lottie. He was so proud of his kids, Grant (Teri), and Janice (Peter) and always encouraged and supported them in all of their own adventures. He was an amazing role model, playmate, dinosaur enthusiast, clippings provider, and debate opponent for his grandkids, Molly, Anna (Eden), Sam (Nina), and Daniel (Marla).
Family and friends are invited to gather at an open house to celebrate his life at Evan J. Strong Funeral Services North (3625 12 St NE) on Saturday, January 10, 2026 from 11:00 am - 1:00 pm.
