James Andrew Chute, Lucille Pazienza Chute and Cynthia Wenzel Chute:

James Andrew Chute is employed as Construction Superintendant, U.S. Operations, Toromont (Simco). Spends most of his time on job sites, throughout the country, supervising the building or tearing down of skating rinks. Spent his earlier years as a carpenter, and is strangely proud of the fact that he once fell off the roof of a house, was unconscious for a brief period of time, but then awakened, picked himself up and went back to work.
Jim is also known for his lucky streak. He has had two rental cars completely flattened by industrial machinery (in both times he was not in the vehicle), he's been hit broadside by a drunken driver while parked and was unharmed, while the car was destroyed. Cheerful, amiable and with a dry sense of humor, we've always believed he has a little leprechaun sitting on his shoulder, because there's no other explanation for his good fortune.
In the summer of 2003, Jim called to (1) spread the exciting news that he was about to become a grandfather in October of 2003, and (2) express his firm conviction that he was way too young to become a grandfather. Among his "pre-natal" adventures was the time he was sent off to a Baby Depot to buy a highchair. You woulda thunk they'd sent him back to the Middle Ages (assuming they'd had cell phones in the Middle Ages, that he could call from, every two minutes): "What is this stuff? What is all this padding? What's this with all these 'safety features'? Why do they have to have 4,000 models of highchairs?? What are all these doohickies? Why does the kid need a highchair with a playschool attached to it?? When I was a baby, they stuck me in a simple rickety wooden highchair and if I fell out on my head, too bad!" And thus we demonstrate Jim's propensity for turning simple errands into Academy Award-winning dramatic performances that have his audiences rolling in the aisles. Note: His parents would like to quickly point out here that he did not have a rickety wooden highchair. He had a nice 1950's metal and vinyl seated model that, from all accounts, was perfectly level, and, contrary to popular belief, he never fell out of it onto his head.
