Among my grandmother's papers was a letter of condolence for the loss of my grandfather, Clifford Lutter (1915-1980). The author was Harry Hazelwood (1921-2007), a judge in Newark, New Jersey.
A brief search produced a page at Rutgers University dedicated to Judge Hazelwood, where he attended for undergraduate studies. Some letters he wrote are pictured on his alumni page, so I decided to post this letter here in case anyone wants to view.
Judge Hazelwood was buried in Fairmount Cemetery in Newark.

Dear Mrs Lutter:
You and your family have my deepest sympathy upon the passing of your husband. I trust that God will give all of you the strength and courage to carry on during the coming days of stress and strain and will comfort you during the time of your bereavement. For many years I have known of your husband and his work particularly as treasurer of Special Police Local 11. He will long be remembered for his professionalism and for his community concern.
Again, my heartfelt sympathy to you and to all of the family.
Sincerely,
Judge, Superior Court
