John Carter Ruttle Jr.

Sounds like an incredible guy who lived an amazing life and positively impacted so many.

Thoughts and prayers go out to the family especially, his sister Patricia whom I work with at Raymour. She too, is an impressive, strong and an amazing person as well.

I worked with John at WENE in 1977 - 1978. He was a great guy. My prayers go out to his family and friends who I am sure will miss him.

So sorry to hear of John carter's passing... my condolences and deepest sympathies to the whole clan...

John and I worked on many projects through the years as a narration talent on many of our video productions. I am just shocked as you and your family are! What a talented guy who made it so much fun to work with! Many hours cracking up laughing in the studio! John even offered to DJ my wedding even though he had given up that crazy gig! My best to you and your extended family Arlene - he will be missed by all.

I am so sorry to hear of Johns passing. we lost touch with each other in recent years. Please accept my deepest condolences,
Sincerely,
Barry Schecter
