Chet was one of the senior faculty members who welcomed me to Concordia in 1978. I deeply appreciated his congeniality and support for a young faculty member. May the God of all comfort be with you through this time.
Sautter family, I was a student of Prof Sautter’s in ’73/’74 as a freshman at Concordia. Someone asked me a physics question today that reminded me of him, and I looked him up only to find that he had passed. Condolences on your loss – he was a nice and caring professor, and a terrific teacher who I’m sure touched the lives of countless students over the years. He will be in my prayers this Sunday.
