Harland Douglas Suttis
1946-2020
Suttis, Harland Douglas, Lower Economy. It is with a grateful
heart for a life well lived that I announce the death of Harland
Douglas Suttis, my husband, soulmate and best friend. Born in Truro,
he was the son of the late Trueman and Barbara (McLellan) Suttis.
Harland’s life passion was music, teaching, preforming and
for 40 plus years as an accomplished luthier, repairing and restoring
guitars. His reputation was among the best. He was a man of God, who
patterned his life after the first four words of the Bible, “In
The Beginning God”. He loved and cared for people as he was loved
and cared for. And his wacky sense of humor kept us off guard and
smiling right to the end.
He is survived by his wife of 53 years, Paulette (Polly);
brother-in-law and sister-in-law, Homer and Beverley Garrison; nieces,
Heather Lunn and Correen Garrison.
He was predeceased by a brother Trueman.
A Celebration of Life will take place on Sunday, March
15th from 2-4pm in the
Economy Recreational Centre, Economy. Private interment will take
place at a later date in the Economy Cemetery. Donations in memory may
be made to Palliative Care of the Colchester East Hants Health Centre,
Truro, Colchester East Hants Hospice Society, or to the Open Arms
Church, Parrsboro. My sincere thanks to the Palliative Care
Team of CEHHC, Truro, the VON Home Care and nursing staff, and for the
love and prayers of many special friends. Arrangements are under the
direction of the Mattatall~Varner Funeral Home, 55 Young Street,
