A divine reunion for the Suttons

FAYETTEVILLE - Should they run into each other in an afterlife, presumably it serenely differs from their run-in as player and coach.

Eddie Sutton, the Hall of Fame coach whose 37 years career included coaching Arkansas from 1974-85, died last Saturday at 84 at home in Tulsa after years in bad health and a series of strokes.

Leroy Sutton, an Arkansas forward from 1980-84 originally from South Bend, Ind. and last Sunday tweeting condolences about his late coach, died unexpectedly Tuesday at 59. Leroy died in North Little Rock where he was minister of music at the Full Counsel Christian Fellowship Church.
