Sutherland helped others succeed

To the editor:

Thank you very much for including the little-known details of Ian Sutherland's life in your article. For those of us who have been lucky to have our lives touched by this man, it is those accomplishments and the quiet support he always provided his friends that made Ian a remarkable person. Cape County is losing one of the most talented trial attorneys imaginable as well as someone who mentored young attorneys and was in fact and indeed Morley's right hand. As a former assistant prosecuting attorney, I will always be grateful to the time and energy Ian gave me -- an experience I have not encountered since in any work environment or city.

Ian was family and will always be "the colonel" in our hearts.LORI SPILLANE
