James A. Sutton

Mr. Sutton graduated from Mount Marion High School in 1957 and went on to pursue his dream of becoming a master carpenter. Jim owned and operated Sutton Contracting in Saranac Lake since 1980. Jim was a member of the Moose Lodge and Sons of the American Legion of Saranac Lake.

Jim Sutton was an avid carpenter who enjoyed teaching others the trade. In his younger years, he also loved being an alter boy for the Lutheran Church, boating, hunting and fishing.

Jim was predeceased by his first wife, Evelyn Curtis Sutton; his stepson, Francis Curtis; his sister Bernice Kearney; and his brother Charles “Sonny” Sutton.

There will be no calling hours. Internment will be at the Mount Marion Cemetery in Saugerties at the convenience of the family.
