Memories & Condolence

  1. Don Kelly parnell says:

    Prayers to your family. May you find Gods comfort in this time . I’m sure he was proud of your amazing family.

  2. Brad and Cindy Rall says:

    My condolences to Steve and Mary and the rest of the Sutter family. I didn’t think I knew Wayne that well but after reading what he liked to do, I realize I’ve known him for the past 30 years that I’ve worked with his son as clearly Steve is a lot like his dad!

    My one memory of Wayne was him standing on top of a ladder on top of Steve’s roof with a chainsaw as he grew impatient with us computer programmers as we all tried to calculate the safest way to remove the tree.

    Ultimately, Wayne took matters into his own hands when he decided we were doing too much thinking and not enough doing and he just started cutting. I remember thinking (as any insurance person would) “this is really risky!” In the end, Wayne got it done and I walked away thinking “I know where Steve gets it!”

    I hope you find peace in knowing that Wayne and his legacy lives on through his family. You are all in our prayers.
