Robert “Benny” Hutchinson, 69, of Braggs, died Thursday, January 17, 2013. Born in Muskogee, Oklahoma to Ben and Coweta (Kennedy) Hutchinson on November 12, 1943.
Benny was a master at everything he did. He owned and operated Master Machine Shop which is located on Machine Shop Road in Braggs. He was a song and music writer as well as a decorator and sign painter. Everything he did was done with perfection. He was a man of great accomplishments. One of his songs, “Love of My Life,” hit eighth place on the Nashville music charts. He collected and restored vintage M&M tractors. He loved to fish, go to garage sales and tractor shows.
Benny had many lifelong friends. He was always there for those who needed him. He loved to tease and had a nickname for almost everyone. He was an optimist and saw the best in everyone and everything. His wisdom, smiles, humor and knowledge will be so missed.
