LEROY KUTNER
KUTNER, Leroy Norman, son of Esther and Leo Kutner, died unexpectedly May 30, 2014.
Lee is survived by his brother, Ben (Jill); his sister, Fay Kessler (Fred); and his beloved nieces, Ali Holmes (Trey), Jessica Kessler Hartman (Zack) and Marissa Kessler, all of whom will miss him dearly.
Lee attended Thomas Jefferson High School in Richmond.
A tinkerer all his life, Lee would disassemble and re-assemble (sometimes not so successfully) anything he ran across as a child, just to learn how it was put together and how it worked.
This curiosity served him well when he later entered the workforce. He spent his entire career in the elevator industry progressing from apprentice to installer to estimator, all the while tinkering with an invention to digitize older analog elevator controllers.
Once perfected, he approached his company to form a separate partnership to market the device; for the last 20 years, he and his partners successfully built and sold hundreds of digital elevator controllers that currently operate all across the country.
Lee will be missed by his many friends in Virginia and Florida, especially by his adopted brother and sister, Larry and Patricia Fine.
Funeral notice later.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Virginia Holocaust Museum or the American Heart Association.
