Andre John Kut

He was born on 8/30/1952 in Bronx, NY. Son of Irene Flugel and Anthony Kut of Leipzig, Germany, he graduated from Bergenfield High School and attended Brandywine College in Delaware. He is survived by his wife of 49 years, Catherine Kut, his three sons Kris, Eric and Alex and 6 grandchildren, Andre, Preston, Ella, Claudia, Scarlet and Ryder. He met Cathy in high school in 1970 and have been together ever since...married on Nov 15, 1974. Andre was in the printing profession for 25 years. His love for professional boxing led him to his next endeavor...Trainer, Manager and Promoter with several champions and an induction into the NJ Boxing Hall of Fame. He devoted over 50 years to the sport, but never let it get in the way of his family. Family always came first and he would go without to provide for others. He never missed a practice, sporting event, birthday, holiday or anniversary. He taught his children sportsmanship, hard work and a positive attitude. HIs love for fishing brought hours of father-son time with his boys who have the same passion. The Grandchildren were the last chapter and turned him into Papa Dre. He did his best to see as many of their sporting events as he could, took them to concerts, theme parks, restaurants, taught them about cars and made all Holidays special. He will live on forever with all the family he made a positive impact on. A visitation will be held on Saturday, December 23 from 12-4pm at Goble Funeral Home, 22 Main Street, Sparta, NJ.
