Don Jutz! Zorro! I barely feel worthy of being his friend but I am glad that I was. I'm a civilian and never flew missions with Don. Never put my life at risk for my fellow man like Don did. During the 25 years I knew him in Panama City, I heard the stories, not often, because Don was not a braggart, but little by little a picture was painted of a man with an amazing amount of courage and determination. When Don walked into a room it lit up, he had a big smile and a big booming voice and I was always glad to see him.Don was a generous and kind hearted sole who lived life to the fullest.At eighty years old he was still driving 40,000 miles a year. He was like the energizer bunny, there was no stopping him.I think he made his last parachute jump at 70 or 75 years old! He had so much respect for the men he served with. He was always driving to events and funerals to show last respects, sometimes as far as England. I will miss Don, as I am sure many others will but I feel I will see him again someday in the not too distant future. Kudos to Bob and his wife, I witnessed how they took care of Bob and it showed me what brotherly love really means. I am inspired by the Jutz family. God Bless , your friend Mike.
