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.
