Joseph Kutcher Obituary

You were an amazing teacher and person. You always had a great joke or come back for anything that happened in class or at a football game. I'm so glad that I had a chance to know you and have you as a teacher.

I went to Wando and although a car accident has rendered me "forgetful", as soon as I pulled up the picture, I felt I should at least say goodbye to an unforgettable face. R.I.P. Mr. Kutcher.

Joe and I are cousins: his father and my Mother were siblings. I never meet Joe, yet I spent many summers with his father, Joe, when I stayed with his family, my grandparents.
From the nice notes in this guest book, Joe, Jr, must have been like his father, a gentle, loving person.
I wish the best for the surviving family members.

I am thinking of the time Paul and I climbed to the top of the stadium at a football game to see Joe. He was so excited and so animated. We laughed and carried on and it seemed we were all on top of the world. It was one of those moments that made Joe so special. He made you feel special in just talking to him. He will always be with us in this way.

My heart goes out to the kutcher family !

Mr.kutcher was a great man and I am very grateful to have known him !

Thoughts and prayers to the Kutcher family. May you rest in peace Joe. You will be missed by many. No more suffering big guy. God bless you Wife and children.

Seeing the candles lit for each of the messages shows that Joe's one light for life lit many other people's life candles. What a legacy to Joe! May those who have been lit by Joe's candle pass on their flame & make a difference in the lives of others. Joe's love for life in school in Tamaqua and his laugh was contagious! I am praying for the Lord to touch ReBecca and daughters in an unexpected and touching way. With prayers and blessings ...

Dear ReBecca,
My heart aches for you and your wonderful family. What a great man your husband was and what an enormous loss for our community. You are all in my prayers. With my sincerest condolences,

Rebecca and Girls,

Thank you, sir. You helped a lot of children grow up well, and incorporate mathematics into their lives ~ a tremendous advantage. Your own daughter is an inspiration to so many, and you were a terrific instructor.

My Condolences to the Kutcher family. Mr Kutcher truly was a great man, great person and a superlative teacher. He took time to tutor my son while at Wando and had a way of reaching and connecting with young adults. Truly an inspiration as a person teacher and family man. May he be at peace with God now.

Kutcher family, I am so sorry to hear of Joe's passing. I was very lucky to work with Joe at Wando. He was a wonderful teacher and a great inspiriation. I will miss his smile and words of wisdom. May you find peace in your time of sorrow.

Dear Rebecca and family,my thoughts and prayers are going out to you. Joe was a terrific human being.

Diane and Ange Romano

Thank you, Mr. K, for being such a genuine, caring teacher. You are an inspiration, and live on in the hearts of all you have touched. My 3 siblings and I are so lucky to have known you, to have been influenced by you. We are truly blessed for it.

Dear Rebecca and family,my thoughts and prayers are going out to you. May God bless and comfort you in your time of sorrow.

ReBecca, Sammi, Trista, and Suzi: You have all been under so much stress and have suffered so much pain over the last 2 years, yet have handled it with amazing strength and grace. I wish it was all over, but unfortunately you will continue to grieve for the incredible man that has left all of us much too soon. My hope is that you can take comfort in the knowledge that his influence is like ripples in a pond, continuing to move out farther and farther than either you or he could imagine. His legacy is you--his family--and his students, who will carry a part of him forever. Remember what Dr. Seuss said, "Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened." My thoughts are with all of you in this difficult time...

Dearest ReBecca and girls, May God hold you in the palm of His hands and comfort you as you navigate through this overwhelming loss. Certainly Joe's talents were diverse and deep; may your memories of all the wonderful things Joe did throughout his life help comfort you as you grieve for his physical presence. May God grant you peace, love and hope today and always. FHS, The McLeods

Rebecca and girls, My little cousin Joey has touched my life in ways I may not ever be able to express in words. Such fond memories of us growing up together, when we would load up the car and head to Tamaqua for a visit, which was fairly often. One of my fondest memories was playing in the basement of the Kutcher home, which at one time had been the TV store. We would take turns riding Tony the Pony. I also remember playing at the TV store when it moved to it's last location, we would play in all the cardboard boxes, with no end to the imangination of what the boxes were, and the people we played. We would also play with the burnt out TV tubes and play TV repair people. Following Joe's journey since being diagnosed with PC has been a bittersweet one. My heart aching for my cousin with this diagnosis, but also an amazing story of such a strong spirited man who along with his beautiful family faced this head on to the very end. I was blessed to meet the whole family while attending Joe's mom's services, but felt like I knew them well because Aunt Helen talked about them all the time. May God bless you and keep you at this time. There are no words adequate in times like this. Love to you all. I miss you Joey,you will for ever inspire me, love your cuz, Eileen

ReBecca and family, We are so sorry for your loss. You are in our prayers and thoughts. God Bless. Holly & Ann

Joe was an amazing husband, father, teacher and friend to all who knew him! I will miss hearing his voice at the Wando football and volleyball games, seeing his smile as he watched Sammie play volleyball, and miss our talks as we walked into work together. Our whole community will miss Joe Kutcher!

Rebecca & girls, Joe was a classmate of mine. He never had an unkind word to say about anyone. He was a kind, caring, loving young man who always enjoyed a good joke. I remember riding the bus with Rebecca throughout our years of school. It doesn't surprise me that you both became teachers. I know without a doubt those students are very
Iucky to have shared in the life of Joe! His light will shine on forever!

Rebecca and family, i hope you know that i am here for you all when ever you need me ! i love yall and you are all in my prayers and my hopes!Stay stong as always ! Love kelsey patten!

Rebecca and family, I am so very sorry to hear of Joe's passing. Although I have not seen Joe since High school as one of his classmates I remember him fondly. Being in the band with Joe holds lots of great memories for me. He will be missed by all.

Mr. Kutcher was easily one of the best teachers i ever had. he was amazing at getting you to understand the day's lessons but never sharp when you had questions. patient and kind, and funny!! he will be missed - my thoughts and prayers are with his family. RIP

Rebecca please know that I am thinking of you and your daughters God bless

My heart goes out to the Kutcher family. I am sorry for your loss. My children truly enjoyed being in his class. May God comfort all of you.

I wasn't fortunate enough to know Mr. Kutcher, but he leaves behind a wonderful, strong, young woman who I'm lucky to call one of my good friends. My thoughts are with the entire family as they face this difficult time.

--Kelly Ballance

Joseph you were and will remain a light in our world.Your spirit will live on in our hearts.

May God Bless and bring comfort to all the Kutcher family during this time of immense loss.

Joe will always live on in the numerous students he touched in his teaching career. Both of my children had Joe in school and his caring and guidance made a lasting impression on both of them. Wesley in particular had a special bond with Joe with his humor and guidance. He was a mentor and inspiration to all the lives he touched. He will be missed by all who knew him.

Joe presence at wando will always be missed. May your memories of Joe as a husband, father, friend bring you some sense of peace.

Kutcher Family...I am so very sorry for your loss. May God's love help you get through this very difficult time. In my thoughts and prayers.

Mr. Kutcher played such an influential role in my life. His love for teaching was inspiring, and I am so grateful to have had him as my 8th grade Algebra teacher. His passion for the subject was truly contagious! My prayers go out to his family.

ReBecca and girls,
Your family holds a special place in our hearts. We are so sorry for your loss. You are in our prayers.

8th grade algebra changed my life...not because of the subject..but because of the great man,mentor and friend that taught the class...15 years later his life lessons still inspire me. So thankful to have known him..amazing man, amazing family ...thoughts and prayers are with Mrs Kutcher and the girls ..R.I.P. Mr Kutcher.

To the family, im sorry for your lose. He was a great man and a great techer

I got to know Joe through high school band, where he was a talented drummer and I was a member of the flag guard and later part of the majorette squad with the love of his life, ReBecca. With his twinkling eyes, ever-present smile and warm personality, Joe was a ray of sunshine even on those chilly Pennsylvania football nights. It's not at all surprising that he built a life full of so much love and noble purpose, and it's nothing short of tragic that the monster that is cancer took him away far too soon. My condolences to his family.

Dear Kutcher Family -

I will miss seeing Joe every day in the Freshman Academy at Wando. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

You guys were neighbors in Crown Point, and I always enjoyed stopping in to visit with your family. Later, I knew Mr. Kutcher as a teacher at Laing and always admired him because I knew how much his family meant to him. Prayers are with the Kutcher ladies! ~Tricia (Tyndall) Flagler

Joe , you were always such an extraordinary man. You will truly be missed by countless many . You will remain immortal through the hearts of those who were blessed enough to know you and most especially by your three beautiful daughters and lovely, sweet ReBecca. Rest in peace my friend .

I had my 9th grade Geometry class with Mr. Kutcher at Wando. His teaching made it so I actually enjoyed doing geometry proofs. He's one of my favorite math teachers I've had. I also remember working with him back stage to build some stage props for one of the musicals we did while I was taking a Stage Tech class. He always seemed to have a smile on his face and it was obvious that he loved what he did for a living.

Dear Kutcher Family,
Sorry about the loss of your love. He was one of the best teacher at Wando and Laing.

Just want the family to know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. Thank you for all the years of investing in our children. Mr Kutcher will be missed.

I have heard so much about Joe Kutcher. My children attend school with the Kutcher girls and we also live in the neighborhood. We are so very sorry for your loss. We are praying for your peace. He will not be forgotten.

Dear Kutcher Family,
I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your husband, father, brother, cousin. Mr. Kutcher was a very respected man.
I worked with him at Wando also.

I was so sorry to hear of your loss. The thoughts of many are with you at this time of sorrow.

So sad to say goodbye to such an amazing Math teacher when I was a freshman at Wando. Rest in Peace.

Both of my children were blessed to have been in Mr. Kutcher's math class at Laing. He was a true gentleman and educator - my heart and prayers go out to his family.

A loss that leaves me without words. All my children had Mr. Kutcher as a teacher,my son said favorite teacher ever. Our hearts break for your loss and our prayers are with your family.

There is no way for me to tell you how sad I am for you and the girls. I loved your Joe stories. I pray for you to find peace and strength when you need it most.
Diana
