My condolences to Gary and the entire Matos family. I was really saddened to hear of Cutter's passing. I have unforgettable memories of Cutter and all of us guys that used to hang around up at Murphy's. He was an easy going soul who always had a smile on his face and was eager to share a laugh. He'll be greatly missed.
