I am sorry to hear of Suts passing,I’ve known him for most of my life,as a boy I remember the “cool”old Harley-Davidson motorcycles he had, he was a big help to a lot of people over the years,his knowledge and experience will be sorely missed.

Dearest Shirley and family, We are so sorry to hear about your brother’s passing. Our prayers and thoughts are with you. We Love You
I knew Sut through my grandparents, Curtis & Betty Poe. I knew he was a great friend of our family and always willing & ready to help the community of Clemtown. Sut didn’t know the word ‘no’, he only knew being a good neighbor. Clemtown truly lost a great man, he was a hard worker and farmer. He could fix anything.
