Brother McCutchen was my Greek Brother for many years. As members of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. ( the nation’s first Greek Lettered Collegiate Fraternity founded by African Americans) I had an opportunity to interact with Bro. McCutchen often. I found him to be an astute investment minded Brother who readily shared his knowledge with others. He will be surely missed by the Brothers of Delta Rho Lambda chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc.May he find peace in the arms of the creator .
