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. Online condolences may be made at www.schimanskifamilyfuneral home.com. Obituaries
