I always crossed paths with Mr Sutton through the years. When he walked and then when he was in his jazzy with Buddy. Always friendly and just a real nice person You don’t meet that many nice people these days. His spirit lives on and I hope the house he lived in is bought by genuine people as he was. God bless and prayers. Buddy will miss him deeply. Cindy Washkwich 2 miles up the road and out on Spring Mills
