With deepest sympathy to the family and relatives of a special cousin.
My Grandfather John C. Walker Division Engineer of Division 10 of the State Highway Commission, thought so much of Hutch. He would have been so proud to see that Hutch folowed in his footsteps when he became the Division engineer for the 13th division here in Buncombe County. Hutch was the last of what was called the ‘old Highway Dept.’ when the Department was known for its integrity and dedication to the people of North Carolina. He will be missed.
My sympathy to all of you. My father and Hutch were great friends. He was so pleased that Hutch followed in his footsteps.
