Not sure what to say?

Olga, I have wonderful, warm memories of sitting with you and Dave at your table, enjoying your tremendous hospitality. May the love you have given us all return and comfort you. God bless you and your family.

Olga and Marty,
Man, do I ever have many, many fond memories of Dave. I used to follow him wherever he was playing. I even played some big band gigs with him also. A wonderful musician but a person that when he decided to do something he jumped in with both feet; photography, fishing, Latin music, you name it, Dave was an expert at them all.
Many wonderful memories.

We were so very sad to learn of Dave's passing. Heaven gained a great soul that day. I have read the other entries and share the memories of the warm and welcoming Tuttle home of Dave and Olga. My family (the Lords) have enjoyed many years of friendship with Dave and Olga and the family, and we will always treasure the memories we have with them.We are so sorry for your loss, I know it is a great one.

Sorry to hear of Dave's passing always ejoyed his great sense of humor and some great lunchs at the four seas. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Jim & Shirley Young past employee of Paris Beauty Supply.

When anybody in music needed a good, I mean REALLY good bone man, you called D.T. I did, and for several years he and his buddy Al Fields were front line for the Hiltons. Retirement homes loved us. Now Dave gets to join up with Al, and many other greats from the Northwest who are gigging in God's jazz band. Someday we'll all join em but for now, we'll just say thanks for the memories...to quote Mr. Hope.

A man is remembered for his deeds. Dave Tuttle had me over to his house for Thanksgiving dinner when I was a total stranger and had no family after my mothers untimely passing. My only connection was I had played music with his son Marty, a well respected Seattle drummer, I was made to feel like one of the his large extended family members right from the start. He was a generous and loving man who's support for the Arts was unwavering.My condolences to the family for their lose. Sorry Marty,...
