FROSTY HOLLOW, N.B. –Surrounded by family and love, it is with deep sadness and heavy hearts that the family of Cuttar B. Fillmore announces his passing on January 30th at the Sackville Memorial Hospital. Cuttar was 81 years of age.

Cuttar retired from Atlantic Industries, Dorchester, in 1990 and then worked a short time with the Penitentiary Services, Armco Canada and Fawcett Foundry. In his younger years he was a lumber jack and an avid outdoorsman who loved hunting and being at the camp. Having spent his entire life in Frosty Hollow, he will be remembered for his many rhymes and songs.
