John W. Suttie

This is to provide a photograph of Professor Suttie, during a trip that he organized. Several of his laboratory, including me, Dr. Peter Preusch, DeAnn Liska, and a grad student in another lab (Fred Schendel) came on this trip. We spent the weekend in Prof. Suttie's cabin near Gale Ettrick, and we all took a canoe ride down the Black River. Attached is a photo of Prof. Suttie in his canoe. Now, it is nearly 40 years since I left Prof. Suttie's laboratory for a faculty position at MUSC in...

During my years (1980-1984) working in Prof. Suttie's laboratory, the other researchers in Prof. Suttie's lab included Ellen Hildebrandt, Ph.D. and Peter Preusch, Ph.D. Attached is a photograph of Dr.Preusch sitting at a table next to Prof. Suttie's cabin. This cabin is next to the Black River near Gale Ettrick, WI. Several members of Prof. Suttie's lab were there, in order to take a canoe trip. I also have a photo of Prof. Suttie in his canoe, but I can't find the photo (the JPG file)...

This is to post more memories on the anniversary of Prof. Suttie's ultimate journey. Prof. Suttie cultivated a happy environment for his lab researchers. He took us all to Milwaukee to enjoy a Serbian supper at Three Brothers Restaurant. On another occasion, we all went to Essen Haus in Madison, for merry-making. During the week of a science meeting in St. Louis, we all attended a St. Louis Cardinals baseball game. Also, Prof. Suttie took us to a park in west Madison for downhill...

We treasure the friendship of John and Leone. Both through Bethel Lutheran Church and through our interactions in the halls of the biochemistry building. I feel fortunate to have shared many bird hunting forays with John and Hector DeLuca. Those memories are for sure bringing a smile to John's face right now. Oh my, how about KP Link just down the hall? Remember John being the quarterback to the biochem touch football team?

Dr. Suttie was my professor when I took Introductory Biochemistry at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Luckily he probably didn't remember me as I got a solid C and showed little promise as a scientist. I just wanted to be a dietitian and no longer milk cows. I also grew up on a dairy farm and proceeded to get BS, MS, and PhD degrees in Nutritional Sciences at the University of Wisconsin. Dr. Suttie was a mentor to my advisor, Dr. Judith Marlett and always supported our research. I...

This is to offer a respectful remembrance of Prof. John W. Suttie. A minute ago, I learned that Prof. Suttie had taken the ultimate journey. This news is almost unbearable to me, right now. In the years 1980-1984, I worked in Prof. Suttie's laboratory, and my job was to purify an enzyme called, vitamin K-dependent carboxylase. I succeeded in purifying it by 35-fold, but this did not result in complete purification. In later years, Prof. Suttie used techniques of molecular biology to...

My deepest sympathies on Dr. Suttie's death. I had the honor of working with him when he led FASEB. He was invariable a thoughtful, passionate and effective advocate for biomedical research.

So sorry for your loss. I'll always remember playing golf with John on Scottish links.
