Ken was a very special person. I feel blessed to have known him and you were blessed to have such an incredible man as your father and husband. He was like a second father to me growing up, a coach, a mentor, and a protector. God rest his soul.

My heartfelt condolences to the entire Gutrich family. John, so sorry to hear your dad has passed. I will miss him, but I am lucky to have known the man. I have so many good memories of him, especially when we got to golf together, even though it did kinda tick me off that even into his late sixties he was still out-driving me. He had such great stories and an infectious laugh. The man will be missed. I know he was very proud of his wife and family. And you were proud of him. Rightfully so. I know you will miss him but please be comforted by the fact that you had the time the Lord gave you all together and the memories you all share. Rest in Peace Ken. You are missed. Sincerely, Larry Ferenzi and family

I’m so sorry to learn of the Coach G’s passing. I knew him from Kelvyn Park HS. Such a great mentor to so many young people. May God welcome him and give peace to all who loved him and will miss his presence.
