Melvyn Hutt was born in Manhattan, New York in 1941 to his parents Louis and Bertha Hutt and passed away in August of 2024.  Melvyn is survived by his four children David of Santa Barbara, California, Anna of Hampton, Virginia, Benjamin of Anchorage, Alaska and Joshua of Hamilton, Virginia; eight grandchildren Kaela, Bella Rose, Jordan, Paige, Eden, Hunter, Leo and most recently born just two days prior to Melvyn's passing is Henry Hutt.

Melvyn served our country with a full career in the United States Air Force retiring as Lt. Colonel, Comptroller at Vandenberg Air Force Base  in California and returned to Hampton, Virginia in 1987. Melvyn had a full career as a professor of accounting and ECPI and Christopher Newport University.  Mel loved to teach and was especially engaged to ensure the students not only learned accounting but how to get the best deal purchasing a car!

With his wife of 56 years, Marjorie, travel was an important part of their lives.  Together they traveled extensively across five continents.  Their favorite has always been Greece, a country that Mel and Marge not only lived in for four years with their son David, but returned to many times to visit lifelong friends and take in the Greek culture, food and history.
