H. Eldon Sutton, PhD (1927 –2023): A long and full life

Eldon Sutton, professor emeritus at University of Texas at Austin passed away on June 20, 2023 in Austin, TX at the age of 96. Beverly, his wife of 61 years, predeceased him by four months in February 2023. His daughters, Susan and Caroline, and two granddaughters survive him. Eldon was the epitome of a Texas gentleman, tall and erudite, calm and soft spoken, with no trace of accent to show his Texas roots. He was at the forefront of human genetics in many respects. He was on the faculty at the University of Michigan ’s newly formed Department of Genetics in 1956 with Jim Neel.
