Not sure what to say?

He was a kind and caring individual. I had the pleasure of enjoying his company for almost fifty years.

I graduated law school four years after John. I met John in the Ingham County Probate Court. We billed at $20.00 per hour back then, but it was steady work. I was a sole practitioner. John took me under his (still young) wing, and gave me the direction and advice a young lawyer needed. We spent many a Friday night at America's Cup talking about other lawyers, and the judges that never read the law. I am retiring just a few years behind John. I was looking forward to taking some week-end trips...

I was John's secretary in 1972. He was a wonderful boss and friend. I remained with the law firm until 1982. I will never forget the impact he had on my life. RIP my friend.

John: you were truly one of a kind and I valid your friendship. Thank you so much for taking me under your wing and being my go to person when it came to collections questions. you will be missed!

John and I served in the same platoon In Viet-nam in '69 and as such are forever brothers. He was a good friend and will be missed. Currahee!!

John and I shared most of our time together while in Vietnam. Later we spent time as brothers in reunion after our military experience. John was my brother. He is and will be missed.

John, you were my friend. We talked, we laughed, we broke bread (with an occasional cheeseburger in the middle), we drank a few drafts, we gossiped, we cared. You were one of the best men I've known in this life and I look forward to seeing you in the next.

I worked for John Tuttle from 1989 to 2015 doing his billings. He will be missed. What a generous and kind man. So many fond memories. I will miss him!
