We get a Christmas card from Kent and Lisa every year and try to stay in touch. Mr... Sutton was a great guy and good father for all of us growing up on Heatherton Dr. in Naperville. There was a large group of boys all within close age including the three Sutton Boy's, next door the two Bakeman Boy's and just down the block the Watkins boy's and down further there were others. It was like the old show "Leave it to Beaver".... that was us and all the Father's including Mr... Sutton let us all be boy's and we all grew up and we all went our separate ways as we got older but our roots and memories will still be there buried on Heatherton Drive in Naperville. We all had a tight group of friends all helping and playing together including the Hockey on the ponds, hunting in the corn fields, building mini bikes, rebuilding the old VW (which Ken wrecked!) etc... I will always remember Mr... Sutton including me in their family fun from water skiing, to hunting, snow skiing, repairing cars and just letting us be boy's. He was a great father I will miss him but always remember him!
Regards,
