Colin F. Sutherland

LANCASTER - On April 7, 2024, Colin F. Sutherland passed away after a long battle with Parkinson’s Disease. He was being care for by family and staff at the Morrison Nursing Facility in Whitefield, NH.

Colin was born and raised on a farm in Barrie, Ontario. Working hard alongside his parents and three younger brothers, he also had the pleasure of developing his athleticism playing baseball, football, and ice hockey. After graduating Port Arthur High School and Lakehead College in Ontario, his hockey talents led him to the University of New Hampshire where he led his team as center iceman and co-captain to many championships. During his college years, he met his wife-to-be Lisette Rousseau. Colin and Lisette married December of 1966 and soon ventured to Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec to begin his career in forestry and surveying. It was not long for Colin and his young family to return to the United States as he took a forestry job for Diamond International Corporation. It was 1969 when Colin and his growing family bought a house and set roots in the town of Lancaster, NH. Here he opened his own forestry and land surveying business which grew and flourished for over 30 years.

Colin is survived by his three Canadian younger brothers, three children, and six grandchildren. A ceremony will be held at Bailey Funeral Home in Lancaster, NH for the family.
