James F. Dutterer

 

         James Franklin Dutterer, 77, of Winchester, Virginia, died peacefully on January 26, 2015 at his home.

 

         Mr. Dutterer was born October 4, 1937, in Frederick County, Virginia, the son of the late William F. and Mary B. Dutterer.  He was the youngest of seven siblings. Jim is survived by one sister and many nieces and nephews.  He was a 1956 graduate of James Wood High School. 

 

He served in the United States Army from 1957 to 1963.  While stationed in Germany he met his future bride, the former Erika K. Kress. They recently celebrated their 54th wedding anniversary on January 12, 2015.  Surviving with his wife is their only son, Robert J. Dutterer, also of Winchester and grandchildren, Victoria M. Dutterer at UVA and Sophia P. Dutterer at CNU.  Jim was a loving husband, father and grandfather. 

 

He retired from General Motors, while also owning and operating a plumbing and electrical business for the past 40 years.  He was a devout member of Sacred Heart of Jesus Catholic Church in Winchester. 

 

We wish to offer our sincerest gratitude to the physicians and nurses who provided a lifetime of care.  In addition, a very special thank you to the staff of Blue Ridge Hospice for their constant compassion and kind support.

 

         The family will receive friends on Thursday, from 6:00-8:00 PM, with a prayer service at 6:00 PM at Omps Funeral Home, Amherst Chapel.

 

         A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 11:00 AM on Friday at Sacred Heart of Jesus Catholic Church with Father Stanley J. Krempa officiating.

 

         Interment will follow at Green Hill Cemetery in Berryville, Virginia.

 

         In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Blue Ridge Hospice, 333 West Cork Street, Suite 405, Winchester, Virginia, 22601 or the charity of your choice.

Jim crossed my trails a few years ago, and I very happy that we had that crossing. I enjoyed talking with Jim during his visits to my home to do plumbing work. His attitude to his many battles with cancer was uplifting. We both talks about his son Bob,and love of family. He was one of the great guys, there are very few now days, that was a pleasure to talk with and share life events. I will miss Jim, but I know he is in a much better place with the Lord.

Dear Aunt Rickie, My deepest sympathy go out to you, Bob and the girls. I will always cherish the memories we had of our visits with you all.

He will surely be missed. Love always, Julia

Colonel, We'll no longer need to talk about our loved ones' pain and suffering. May your dad be at peace. I know from our conversations that there was still quite a bit you wanted to learn from him, and I know that you still will accomplish that. My thoughts are with you and your family. God bless.

I want to extend my sincere sympathy to Jim's family upon his passing. I got to know Jim from working at General Motors and would like to think we were more than co-workers that we were friends. He also did some work at my home and we had lots of talks about his family that he was so proud of. Jim was one of the best. I am sure he will be missed by everyone who was lucky enough to have known him. R.I.P. Jim
