The following note comes from Brother Dan Bowden:
Brothers,
Some of you know the McNutts, and some do not. For those of you who do not know them, Gary, Randy and Dan were all Chi Phi’s at IU, and I believe that both Gary and Randy were Alphas during the 80’s. Their father died on January 28. Visitation Sunday, 02/01 in Broad Ripple. Following is a link to his obituary.
Jack P. McNutt
Hug the ones you love,
Dan Bowden ‘76
As a postscript, Jack and Lucille McNutt were close friends of Chi Phi for many years, starting in the 1970’s, serving as officers of the Parents Club during that time. Sons and Brothers Gary ‘79, Randy ‘81, and Dan ‘86 have been involved as successful Chapter leaders and on Little 500 teams.
At the 25th Anniversary on November 5th, 1983, Lucille spoke at the Banquet of their ties to Iota Delta, in part, ”Over the years, Chi Phi has been a part of our family life. …The one fact that always came through from all three sons was the men of the House. They liked the quality of the men who lived here. That means a lot to a parent. …”
“Those of us who have had the opportunity to watch the House progress over the last 7 to 10 years have taken great pride in the part our sons have played in making the House what it is today – the Best on the Bloomington Campus! … “
“We are here to help when you need us, or when you want us … We are proud to say to our friends and others, I’m the mother or father of a Chi Phi Man!”
With sincere sympathy to Lucille, Gary, Randy, Dan, and the McNutt family -
Joe Goeller ‘63
