Ronald J. Kutting

Ronald J. Kutting, a revered figure in his community and a devoted family man, peacefully passed away on Monday, August 14, 2023, at the age of 89, after a brief illness. Born on July 21, 1934, in Lorain, Ron's unwavering ties to his hometown defined his life's journey. He graduated from Lorain High School in 1952 and went on to serve his country with honor in the US Army from 1957 to 1959. A dedicated and proud worker, Ron was known for his 39-year career as a letter carrier for the US Postal Service in South Lorain. His commitment and work ethic left an indelible mark on the community he served. Ron's spirit of service extended beyond his professional life, as he enthusiastically volunteered for Lorain Catholic bingo connecting two eras of LC between his son’s class and his grandchildren’s classes until it closed. His love for his family shone through in his attendance at his grandchildren's sporting events, and his joy was evident in shared casino trips and his passion and pride for outdoor activities like cutting grass and washing cars. A true embodiment of holiday spirit, he generously baked Christmas cookies each year, a cherished tradition he bestowed upon his loved ones. A faithful member of St. Peter Parish in Lorain, Ron also contributed to the community as a former member of Moose Lodge #552 for 25 years. His presence enriched the lives of those around him, and his memory will forever linger as a testament to his kindness and generosity. Ron is survived by his loving son, Dale Kutting, and daughter-in-law Susan, of Amherst. His legacy continues through his cherished grandchildren: Chad Kutting and his wife Lauren of Los Gatos, California, and Kari Cooley and her husband Mason of South Amherst. His memory lives on in his eight adored grandchildren: Jacquie, Theo, Alexa, Callen, Deekon, Paycen, Laiken, and Korlyn. Preceded in death by his beloved wife, Mary Ann Kutting (nee Dziak), Ron now joins her in eternal rest. He was also preceded by his parents, Joseph and Mildred Kutting (nee Schremp), his sister Mildred Pihlblad, and his brother Thomas Kutting, and his “best buddy” Penn, his loyal canine companion. The family will receive friends on Friday, August 18, 2023, from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm at the Gluvna-Shimo-Hromada Funeral Chapel, 3224 Broadway, Lorain. A funeral service to honor Ron's life will follow at 12:00 pm in the funeral chapel, with a mass of Christian Burial at 12:30 pm at St. Peter Parish, 3501 Oberlin Ave, Lorain. The Rev. Craig Hovanec, the parish pastor, will officiate. Ron's final resting place will be in Calvary Cemetery, Lorain. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that memorial contributions be made to St. Peter Parish, 3501 Oberlin Ave, Lorain, OH 44052.
