January 31, 1950 — September 27, 2006

Mr. Hutchinson was born January 31, 1950 in Covington County, MS. He was a member of Lizana Baptist church and was a volunteer fireman from 1985 until 1990. He became a full time fireman on May 15, 1990 and served 16 years with Harrison County Fire Service.

the same situation: his job.""""
