___ PCN FLIGHT WEST is sponsored by the Pilot Communication Network and is a service of the PCN provided for the Delta Pilot Retired family of pilot groups. Flight West was started and is maintained to accomplish two main goals. After we become aware of a colleague who has Flown West, 1. We aim to produce a “timely” notice sent to our community that allows for support and interaction from our group toward the grieving family of our friend and colleague. 2. Then, we aim to “archive” that notice on our PCN Flight West Blogspot as a lasting accessible place of Dignity and Honor of our colleague for family legacy and posterity. Contributor contact info is generally removed before posting (unless requested otherwise).

Larry Sutton Obituary

Larry Kyle Sutton, 83, of Boca Raton, Florida, passed away peacefully on December 6, 2025. Born on February 14, 1942, in Arbovale, West Virginia, Larry was the beloved son of Evelyn Marie Flynn and Homer Tennyson Sutton.

 

A proud graduate of Green Bank High School's Class of 1960, Larry served as senior class president and was voted "Most Studious" and "Most Talented." Ever humble, he jokingly remarked that he couldn't imagine why-an early glimpse of the gentle modesty that would define him throughout his life.

 

In 1963, Larry enlisted in the United States Navy in Brunswick, Maine, where fate introduced him to the love of his life, JoAnn Lee Winer. The two married in 1967 at the Brunswick Naval Air Station and went on to build a life filled with adventure, living in Sicily, San Diego, and Miami. After completing his military service, Larry embarked on a distinguished career as a pilot with Delta Air Lines, flying out of Miami and later Atlanta. It was during his years in Atlanta that he and JoAnn welcomed their daughter, Christine Elaine Sutton, who became the center of their world.

 

In 1978, Larry and his family made their permanent home in Boca Raton, where he lived for the rest of his days. He was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather whose presence at every school function, sporting event, and milestone was a testament to his unwavering love and pride for his family. After retiring from flying due to health reasons, he cherished the simple joys of family time and took great interest in following and playing the stock market. Larry's wife, JoAnn, preceded him in death, passing peacefully at their home on April 2, 2024.

 

Larry is survived by his beloved grandsons, Robert and Brandon Abel; his sister, Dorothy Sutton; his nephews, JD Drake, Chris Sutton, and Wes Simmons; and his niece, Jo Lori Drake. He will be remembered for his quiet strength, his gentle heart, and the steadfast devotion he showed to those he loved.

 

Larry's legacy lives on in the family he adored and the countless lives he touched with his kindness, humility, and steady presence. May he rest in peace.
