Saul Kutner was a man to be admired. He loved his family, enjoyed life and learning; he was honest, kind, and respectful to us all. The very distinguished Mr. Kutner will be missed, but not forgotten.

How saddened I was to read not only that Selma and Saul had moved to Atlanta, but that Saul had also just passed away. I was a late-in-life provider of transportation to Bradley Airport for Selma, Saul and Naomi, when they traveled to GA & FL. Saul was a gentleman, always fun to be with; and to listen to him share his past. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your families,

Dear Selma, Quite by accident, I came across Saul's obituary. I know the past years have been difficult for you. I will always remember your devotion to Ellen and your own advocacy for Saul. I will miss seeing the both of you at concerts. Warm regards, Bernard Kosto

Dear Kutner Family:

We are thinking of you all at this difficult time -- we have so many wonderful memories of the holidays we've spent together throughout all of our lives. I have always admired Saul so much for his commitment and passion for his work and his other interests. He was a role model for me during my years in college and graduate school, and I always appreciated his interest in our lives and activities. We are so grateful for your friendship to our parents and to all of us. Sending our deepest condolences to all of you.

Love to all, Jane, Elizabeth and Carlos
