Richard Alan Sutton

Richard Alan Sutton, of Lawrenceville, Ga., formerly of Coatesville, passed away peacefully, on April 5, 2022, at 85 years old.

Dick was preceded in death by his parents, Dick and Dorothy Sutton, and loving wife of 49 years, Janet Sutton.

He is survived by daughters Lydia (Rob) Schleicher and Liana Sutton; grandchildren Connor, Colin, Caitrin and Asher; brother William (Nancy) Sutton; nephews Gary (Mary) Sutton and Jay (Michelle) Sutton; sister-in-law Kay Hedrick; and many other cherished family members.

A proud Vietnam Veteran, Dick served in the United States Army, retiring as a lieutenant colonel. He later retired from the DC Department of Corrections.

He enjoyed life as a world traveler, accompanied by his wonderful wife who worked for Delta. The couple shared their love of travel throughout their lives. An avid bicycle rider in his prime, he took pleasure in riding the Hilly Hundred as well as other endurance courses. When he wasn’t riding or traveling, he could be found listening to music of all genres, an affinity he passed down to his daughters.

Dick and Jan Sutton will be interred at the Georgia National Cemetery in Canton, Ga., on May 11 at 12:30 p.m. A potluck celebration of life for them will take place on Saturday, May 21 from 2-5 p.m. at the CCC Camp Shelter in Brown County State Park, Nashville, Ind. All friends and family are invited to either or both events.
