Albert "Bunny" Sutton

In 1957, he married Betty Jo Creason. They had two sons together, Clifford and Chris.

The ironically nicknamed “Bunny” was actually a large man, with a voice and personality that matched his stature. A manager at the Gerbes meat department for many years, he also owned a farm and especially loved cattle.

Bunny loved following sports, particularly the St. Louis Cardinals and Missouri Tigers. He was also a bowler, youth baseball coach, and a member of the award-winning 1953 Tribune Tigers softball team. He graduated from Hickman High School in 1955.

Bunny is survived by his wife; sons; three siblings: Edward Sutton, Ozella McCasland, and Sandie Umstead; five grandchildren: Jacqueline Sutton, Melissa Miller, Justin Sutton, Cooper Sutton, and Lexi Sutton. He is also survived by two great-grandchildren: Theodore Sutton and Ava Miller.

He was preceded in death by his parents and two sisters, Mary Wright and Bonnie Shockley.
