Mitchell Nutter - handsome, funny, kind, generous, and unforgettable. Mitchell (Margaret, Michelle, & Marsha) crosses my thoughts often and especially now with the senseless murders of policemen in Texas. I was a around 10 years old when I first met Mitchell and Margaret, Michele was only a baby. They were friends and neighbors with my sister, Sue, and her husband, Chuck. It was always fun to visit my sister because I knew I would see Mitchell too. He was always up to mischief. I can still remember the very sad day he was taken from his family. I am so thankful to know that a park is a memorial to honor Mitchell. God gave Mitchell a very special place in heaven because he was a very special man. He left his footprints in our hearts forever. God bless you Margaret, Michele, and Marsha.

I lived in Audubon Park from 1977-1986, and still have family (in-laws) and friends who live in 'the neighborhood'. Often have I been to the park, first as a youth, then as a parent with my own children. Truly, I had never wondered about why the park was named Michael Nutter. I guess that, I was assuming it was named after someone related to the (now defunct) Navy Base across the street.

I am glad to see the the park was named to honor the life and service of a local police officer who gave the ultimate sacrifice to protect the families of our community. What a shame that he died so young. Based on all of the communications here, I can see that Officer Nutter was a man of integrity who continues to be remembered and have a positive influence on his family, friends, and even strangers (like myself).

A few years ago a good friend of mine asked me what I knew about Mitchell Nutter (OPD) and the park that was named after him. Sadly I knew nothing about this. I am retired from the City of Orlando. My friend, A very active member of the Orlando Fire Department and a Veteran (Army Ranger), who lives just down the street from the park, whated to know more about how the park got it name. A few years ago he looked up his name and the story behind the park. since then he has gone to the park on the 2/10 to place and light a candle in Mitchell memory.

This year will be the third year that my wife and I and a few others have joined him on this day to Honor a fallen Orlando Police Officer (lest we forget).

This year we are having dinner at Linda's La Cantina Steak House before going to the park for the annual candle lighting.

If anyone would like to join us for any of the above, Please give me a call. 321-229-2091.

If any family members see this please call that same number, my friend would like to have contact information from you.

God Bless the fallen and their families that are left behind.

Sgt Tom LeBlanc and my self were 45 seconds behind Mitch responding to the same call, I was the first officer to reach him. We later arrested John Henry Adams and escorted him to the hospital where he was treated and allowed to keep several 32 cal. rounds of which he had swallowed. Mitch was a fine officer and it really hurt to learn that Adams was years later released from prison.

I was a rookie police officer with OPD when you were killed. I rode with you the night before you were killed in the "accident car". I couldn't believe you were gone, what a great guy who was very kind to a dumb rookie like me.

Rest in peace, you will never be forgotten my brother

I met the Nutter family in 1960. I was engaged to marry Joann , his sister. I knew Mitchell only briefly after he come home from Japan but knew he was special. I have often wondered over the years the status of all his family. I would appreciate if a member of the family could update me. Thank you and much love to you.
