Thomas Stephan Kuttner (Tom) passed away in Windsor on October 2, 2024. Tom was a wonderful man of multiple talents. Professionally, Tom was a law professor at the University of New Brunswick (1979 – 2010) and at the University of Windsor (2010 – 2020). He was proud to have been a third-generation law professor. He was also a member of the labour law community, serving as a labour arbitrator and as a Vice-Chair of the Labour Relations Boards in Ontario and in New Brunswick over the span of several years. Musically inclined, Tom enjoyed listening to music, playing the clarinet and reading musical scores. He was also an avid reader, especially of Jewish history.

Personally, Tom was the loving husband of Laverne Jacobs. Tom and Laverne enjoyed cooking and cuisine, intellectual discussion and travel including yearly trips to Geneva and visits to many countries around the world. Tom is survived by his wife Laverne, his three children from a previous marriage (Stephanie, Benjamin and David), five grandchildren, five siblings, and several nieces and nephews. He was pre-deceased by three brothers (Andrew, Francis and Ludwig) and was the loving son of the late Stephan and Eva Kuttner (née Illch).
