I had the honor of being an usher at Chuck's funeral today. Mr. Connelly's thoughts and sentiments were reflected by the speakers, and our little church was full of people whose lives he touched. I will miss him, though I only knew him these last few years. <br><br>Sunil<br><br>> To: vision2020@moscow.com<br>> From: thansen@moscow.com<br>> Date: Fri, 19 Dec 2008 20:58:02 +0000<br>> Subject: [Vision2020] Sutton Served the Area well<br>> <br>> Courtesy of today's (December 19, 2008) Spokesman Review with special <br>> thanks to Gerard Connelly.<br>> <br>> ---------------------------------------------------------<br>> <br>> Sutton served the area well <br>> <br>> Yesterday's newspaper (Daily News, Dec. 16) carried the obituary of <br>> Charles "Chuck" Sutton, and I feel compelled to comment on the life of <br>> this outstanding man. <br>> <br>> He was certainly one of Moscow's giants of his generation. Of the many <br>> jobs he held in his 36-year career in the Moscow School District, I <br>> believe his favorite was junior high principal. He loved the kids but was <br>> no pushover. <br>> <br>> I was a student at Moscow High School in the 1960s when Chuck was a coach. <br>> He respected all and feared none. (For the rest of his life I called <br>> him "Coach," which always brought a smile to his face.)<br>> <br>> In the 1980s when the school district was in disarray and desperately <br>> needed strong competent leadership, the school board and the community of <br>> Moscow knew that Chuck Sutton was the man with the brains, experience and <br>> strength of character to serve as superintendent of schools, and serve he <br>> did with uncommon wisdom, humility and success. <br>> <br>> Chuck was a builder of generations of Moscow's youth into men and women <br>> and for that, the world is a better place. May the angels welcome him into <br>> Paradise.<br>> <br>> Gerard Connelly, Moscow<br>> <br>> ---------------------------------------------------------<br>> <br>> Although I may not know of Mr. Sutton, my wife Rodna (who was a student in <br>> Mr. Sutton's Biology class in 1965) remembers him fondly as one of the <br>> finest teachers she remembers from her days at Moscow High School.<br>> <br>> Rest well, Mr. Sutton.<br>> <br>> http://www.tomandrodna.com/photos/Charles_Sutton_Jr.jpg<br>> <br>> Seeya round town, Moscow.<br>> <br>> Tom Hansen<br>> Moscow, Idaho<br>> <br>> "For a lapse Lutheran born-again Buddhist pan-Humanist Universalist <br>> Unitarian Wiccan Agnostic like myself there's really no reason ever to go <br>> to work."<br>> <br>> - Roy Zimmerman<br>> <br>> <br>> ---------------------------------------------<br>> This message was sent by First Step Internet.<br>> http://www.fsr.com/<br>> <br>> <br>> =======================================================<br>> List services made available by First Step Internet, <br>> serving the communities of the Palouse since 1994. <br>> http://www.fsr.net <br>> mailto:Vision2020@moscow.com<br>> =======================================================<br></body>
