He attended La Salle University.
A center, Sutor played six seasons in the Eastern Professional Basketball League (EPBL) / Eastern Basketball Association (EBA) for the Johnstown C-J's, Wilmington Blue Bombers, Camden Bullets, Binghamton Flyers / Trenton Pat Pavers and Hazleton Bullets.[1]
After leaving basketball, he ran a restaurant in Somers Point, New Jersey named "Sutor's" before moving to Wisconsin in the late 1990s to run "Big Swede's". On August 5, 2011, Sutor was involved in an ATV wreck in which the vehicle flipped over, causing a serious head injury. 24 days later, Sutor died at the age of 67.[2][3]
