Not sure what to say?

ADM Tuttle was a treasured mentor. The day I met him he said, No one's ever quoted me to me in a presentation before...and done it correctly. I had to meet you. I had been listening to his questions and wanted to meet him, but when I went to look for him he was standing behind me. What a privilege to have learned from him. He left his mark on all who had the extraordinary opportunity to know him.

It was a honor to serve as (then) Capt Tuttle's Comms Yeoman for part of the 74-75 Med Cruise aboard USS Saratoga. He was a wonderful man who earned the loyalty and respect of one and all. Rest In Peace CAG'.

I never knew when you visited my ship and my admiral back in 93, that one day you would become family. Prayers for the family from all the sailors and friends whose life you touched.

He was a man that treated everyone with respect. He found great happiness by helping others. He wouldn't stand still he continually pushed himself. He enjoy a good laugh and his laugh was contagious. He was a true leader in all aspect of life. He will be sorely missed, the world has lost an extraordinary man.
