Vance Red Sutton a very kind co-worker who was a great teacher at work. I worked with Red for almost 20 years. He made me a better Operator in Operations. Experience he had goes a long way and he will never be forgotten by his co-workers. My prayers are with the family and friends.
A humble, sweet, all-around good guy. Vance was a true team player and it was a pleasure to work with him at NOVEC years ago. He was a good friend and I will miss him. My sincere condolences to the two true loves of his life – Betty and his daughter, and to all the family.
