WOLFEBORO -- Richard L. Hutchins, of Wolfeboro, passed away peacefully at this home on Monday, April 23, 2001, with his wife and family by his side.
He was born in Wolfeboro in 1927, the son of the late Frank and Sadie Hutchins. He graduated from Brewster Academy, enlisted in the U.S. Army and served in the 87th Airborne Division. He was postmaster for the town of Wolfeboro for 25 years.
Dick's greatest achievement in life was his family. In 1950, he married June Lovering and they just celebrated their 51st wedding anniversary in April. His four sons and their wives have all made their home in Wolfeboro: Rick and Cathy, John and Susie, Mark and Sandy, and Adam and Denise. He felt an enormous sense of gratitude that they shared their daily lives with him, and every single day Dick found pleasure in being a loving, supportive, generous and proud grandfather to Tony, Ashley, Angela, Jennifer, Michael, Matthew, Danny, Alex, and Delaney. His only sorrow was for his beloved granddaughter Amanda who predeceased him in 1982.
Dick believed in fairness, strong family ties, comfortable shoes and hearty meals, a thick mushroom gravy and home baked pies. He put his faith in a strong parachute and a clean rifle. He enjoyed the companionship of his loyal German shepherds and was recognized throughout New England for his extraordinary appreciation of fine antiques. He was a true friend and a brave heart. He shared his knowledge of the outdoors and left a legacy to his sons and grandsons who will forever feel his presence when they hunt together in the "Highlands." Dick loved the finesse of ice hockey, a rousing athletic victory, and the immense pride he felt when he watched his grandchildren play competitive sports.
Visitors to the Hutchins' gracious Victorian home will always remember the warm hospitality found there. The Thanksgiving turkeys he served often weighed more than 35 pounds. He took great pleasure in flowering house plants in the winter, quarts of strawberry preserves, the soft glow from the parlor fireplace, and a Christmas candle in every window. He tended many plants but knew that some gardens are meant to grow wild. Dick's life was rich, and he truly believed that you receive more by giving it all away.
The family wishes to extend an invitation to all their friends to gather with them for a time of visitation at the Lord Funeral Home, Route 28, Wolfeboro, on Friday, April 27, from 6 to 9 p.m.
At the request of the family, memorial gifts may be made to his memory to the Hospice of Southern Carroll County, PO Box 1620, Wolfeboro NH 03894.
