John Orcutt Obituary

John Orcutt, born to Harold and Elva Orcutt of Fountain, Colorado is survived by his wife, Alis Orcutt; daughter, Amanda; son, Travis; brothers, Terry, Keith, Scott and Randy; grandchildren, Carly and Alex Orcutt; mother-in-law, Rose Bartlett and numerous nieces and nephews. John Graduated from Fountain HS and soon went to Vietnam where he served three tours in the US Navy on PBR's (river patrol boats); he also was a lineman and general foreman for Fountain Electric for 37 years. He was a great outdoorsman, enjoyed hunting, fishing and camping with his family. If he shook your hand he meant it, if he said it - he did it, they don't make them like that anymore.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the American Cancer Society.
