Homer F. 'Red' Sutter
Sutter, Homer F. "Red" of Chanhassen 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.
