John G. Sutley

John G. Sutley, 56, of Franklin, passed away unexpectedly on November 13, 2018 at UPMC Northwest hospital in Seneca, PA.

He was born in Franklin on November 17, 1961 to the late Charles A. and Mary Jane (Strawbridge) Sutley.

He built his own dune buggy, raced at the Tri-City Raceway, working on his family's and friend's vehicles, and going to car shows; he especially enjoyed classic car shows and car/dune buggy cruises.
