FRANCIS E. “CASEY”
McCUTCHEON
May 4, 1921 - July 9, 2010
Casey was the eldest of Harry and
Hannah “Lottie” (Ward)McCutcheon’s 11 children.
His early years were a beehive of
activity and adventure as would be
expected by anyone growing up in
such a large family. The family
lived on the sixth of Morris
Township and when he was old
enough, he would do his chores and
run into town to play soccer.
Somewhere along the line he met up
with a mechanic in Brussels who
was named Casey Hudson. He hung
around with this man so much he
eventually earned the moniker
“Little Casey”.
Casey did brief military training
during the Second World War before
returning to Brussels to start his own
car business with his brother Lorne,
who was tragically killed in a car
accident in 1953, and with another
brother Bill.
Casey kept working hard and built
the business into a thriving
establishment. He liked fast cars and
decided he wanted to own a race car.
He looked around for places to run
this fast car and the dirt horse racing
track at the Brussels fairgrounds
became his practice track. After a
couple of years of travelling to
London and Kitchener racetracks
with his speedy racer and trying
out different drivers, one of his
younger brothers Jack took the
wheel and a winning team was
in place. Many of the mechanically
minded young men in town lined
up to form a great pit crew. He
went on to take this team to
Toronto, Hamilton, Ohio and New
York.
After the racing bug subsided, he
had his growing family’s activities tokeep him busy. He was a regular in
the stands of many hockey arenas as
his eldest son Blaine and eventually
Darwin and Terry all showed their
skills on the ice. Keeping up with
these fast-skating, goal-scoring sons
took him all over Ontario and into
the United States.
He was never one to let moss grow
under his feet, as was evidenced by
his many trips south, which began
with travelling to California each
winter. Several other destinations
included visiting daughter Cheryl as
she moved to British Columbia,
Virginia, Arizona and finally
Colorado. But Florida was the place
that Casey and Betty would make
their winter home for 34 years.
He loved to walk miles, which was
evidenced by his pursuit
of the almighty bargain at the
Swap Shop flea market every
Sunday.
Casey sure loved to dance! He and
Betty were fixtures in dance halls
throughout southwestern Ontario
and Florida. Even when he was in
the hospital near the end of
his life, he wanted to keep his feet
moving to the music which was
playing on the radio in his room. He
also enjoyed a rousing game of
euchre. It appears he had quite a
knack and good luck at the card
game.
Casey will be sadly missed by
Betty, his loving wife of 48 years,
daughter Cheryl and husband
Rodger Wilson of Centennial,
Colorado, Blaine and his dear friend
Deb Hamilton of RR1, Walton,
Darwin of Avon, Colorado and
Terry and his wife Wendy ofKitchener. He is remembered by
seven grandchildren Kaile and
Quinn Wilson, Devin, Darcy, Max,
Daniel and Ashley McCutcheon. He
is survived by his brothers and
sisters, George McCutcheon of
Brussels, Berva Rice of Listowel,
Jack and Esther McCutcheon
of Brussels, Bob and Jeanette
McCutcheon of Kelowna,
B.C., Marg and Bernell Smith of
Listowel and Mel and Lois
McCutcheon of Brussels.
Casey was predeceased by his first
wife Gwen Hugill in 1960, his
parents Harry and Hannah, sister
Anne Bryans and brothers Lorne,
Fred and Bill McCutcheon.
His four children and brother
Jack led those attending the
service at Brussels United Church
through a celebration of Casey’s
life.
Pallbearers included his sons
Blaine, Darwin, and Terry as well as
his grandsons Devin, Darcy and
Max McCutcheon. Flower bearers
were granddaughters Kaile Wilson
and Ashley McCutcheon, niece
Debby Sommerville, and
goddaughter Charlene Feltz.
Carrying a checkered flag waving
from a hockey stick was youngest
grandson Daniel McCutcheon.
Casey was laid to rest alongside
his ancestors in the McCutcheon
Cemetery, Morris Township.
Memorial donations can be made
to the Brussels United Church or
Listowel Memorial Hospital.
