Dear Sautter Family,
We give you our sincere sympathy in the loss of your Dad. I've known Mr. Sautter since the mid 1960's as my parents, Dorothy and Bill Starner, always shopped at Sautter's Grocery. My husband and I also saw him at Model A club meetings. He was wonderful, kind, witty, and an honorable man with a smile. He was loved by his friends and the community in Sylvania.

To the Sautter family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you during this sad time. I hope you are comforted by the many memories you have. I have many memories of Mr. Sautter starting when I was a little girl and he would offer me a doughnut while we shopped to when I was older and worked at the store.
