Edward Franklin Suttle

Frank was born to the late Owen and Carrie Suttle in Crawley, WV on April 17, 1925. He was predeceased by his wife Juanita and his twin brother Fred.

Frank proudly served during WWII with the 376th Bombing Group and was a Flight Engineer on a B-24 Bomber. He married Juanita Judy after returning from the War. They happily raised three children In Charleston, WV and then in Charlotte, NC. He retired from Sears, Roebuck and Co. after many dedicated years. Frank had a great sense of humor and loved to tease. He enjoyed gardening and had a green thumb! He also loved spending time with family and friends. His love of WWII airplanes led Juanita and him on many trips for the CAF. They volunteered in preserving the old warplanes and their importance in the War.

He is survived by his daughter Linda Latham (Franklin), son Steve Suttle (Karen), daughter Peggy Reid (Robert), grandson Chris Carpenter (Wendy), granddaughters Rebekah Lockhart (Kyle), and Tracy Huneycutt (John), and great-grandsons Lane and Palmer Lockhart, Reid Huneycutt, and Mason Carpenter.
