I only met Bill a few times while visiting Sandra. The stories though that I heard about him prior to actually meeting made me feel as that I already knew him. He always had kind words to say to me and both he and Dot always made me feel right at home. I will continue to keep all of you in my prayers and will always hold fond thoughts of Bill.

I appreciate the opportunity I have to express my love for Bill Tuttle. I considered him a second father just as I consider the Tuttle family - my family. He was an outstanding husband and father and this for me is his greatest legacy. Also, Bill just knew how to have fun and he created and facilitated that kind of environment for his family and friends.
I count Bill, as not only a wise mentor, but an eternal friend. I look forward to the day I’ll see him again.
I share my sincere condolences with those he’s left behind. I know he received a wonderful welcome home from many who cherish him and are happy he is once again in their midst.
Warmest regards,
Chris
