Alvin "Al" Kutner

He was the beloved husband of Susan Weintrub Kutner; loving father of Caryn (Jim) Herman and Andrew Kutner; devoted grandfather of Joshua and Alexander; and a cherished uncle, cousin, and friend to many.

A graduate of University City High School’s Class of 1957, Al was a lifelong people person who built his career around connecting with others. He began as an electronics salesman before owning and operating Minuteman Press for 15 years. In semi-retirement, he became a familiar face at BJC West County Hospital, where he worked for 13 years before continuing to serve as a hospital and hospice volunteer. Outside of work, he spent 10 years coaching his son’s soccer team with the Olivette Athletic Association.

Above all, Al cherished his family. He and Susan shared nearly 65 years of marriage, raising their family and celebrating the generations that followed. He shared a special bond with his grandchildren, who knew him as “Pop.” He took immense pride in their accomplishments and was always eager to hear what they were doing next. Being Pop was one of his greatest joys.

Al will be remembered for the friendships he nurtured, the lives he touched, and the warmth he brought to those around him. May his memory be a blessing.

The family is grateful to Al’s medical teams and friends for their care and support throughout the years.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Hadassah Medical Centers or a charity of your choice.
