Homer F. 'Red' Sutter

• 

Sutter, Homer F. "Red" of Chan-hassan and Bloomington MN, passed away peacefully on August 11, 2016 surrounded by his family. He is survived by his wife of 61 years, Dorothy, his 3 children, Beth Sutter, Sandra Sutter (Tom Price), Patrick Sutter (Annie) and his five grandsons, Danny, Teddy, and Willy Sutter, Thomas Sutter-Price, and Aaron Maxson. Red lived 97 wonderful years. A lifelong aviator, he was legendary among his fellow Northwest Airline pilots, where he capped his 35 year career flying the flagship 747, retiring in 1978 as senior captain. He had a great sense of humor and was an amazing story teller. He loved to tell stories from his flying career and was able to recall the details as if they happened yesterday. Most of all, Red enjoyed spending time with his family and keeping up on all of his grandson's activities. He will be greatly missed. A memorial service will be held on Monday, August 15th at 2:00pm, with visitation one hour prior at Mount Calvary Lutheran Church, 301 County Road 19, Excelsior, MN 55331.
