Obituary
Richard E. Hutchins of Sandwich, 90, died at home on June 14.
Mr. Hutchins, who was known as Hutch, was born in Providence, Rhode Island, one of 12 siblings.
Until four years ago, he was a familiar sight in Sandwich as he would routinely walk around town, continuing a practice from his youth to which he had attributed his good health and longevity.
As a young man, Mr. Hutchins worked in the Civilian Conservation Corps, created by President Roosevelt in 1933 to provide jobs after the Great Depression. He started by implementing woodland conservation practices in Vermont, and then was sent to fight forest fires in Warrenton, Oregon.
He was a World War II veteran. After graduating from the School of Aviation Medicine at Wendover Field in Utah, he went on to serve as a flight surgeon’s assistant in San Antonio, Texas.
A born-again Christian, he was a charter member of Calvary Baptist Church in Hyannis.
He leaves Janice L. (Cash) Hutchins, his wife of 57 years; his seven children, David R. Hutchins of Falmouth, Patricia M. King of Chicopee, Susan M. Hutchins of Mashpee, the Reverend Peter R. Hutchins of Laconia, New Hampshire, the Reverend Paul W. Hutchins of Bondurant, Iowa, Kathy L. Newton of Sandwich, and John J. Hutchins of Marstons Mills; 19 grandchildren: and six great-grandchildren. He also leaves his sister, Edith Irwin of Ware.
Visitation was to be this morning at 10 at Nickerson-Bourne Funeral Home, 154 Route 6A, Sandwich, followed by a memorial service to celebrate his life from 11 to noon at the funeral home. Burial will be at the Massachusetts National Cemetery in Bourne.
