Michael Tutt

Michael Tutt, 83. Beloved husband for 59 years to Carol, nee Rosencrans; devoted father of Jean (Brian) Saucier and Andrew Tutt (Deanne Starr); cherished grandfather of Jacob Saucier, Max Tutt, Kylie Starr, and Kelsey Starr; proud great-grandfather of Noah Taylor; loving brother of Burt Tutt (Sandra Anderson), the late Barry (the late Arleen) Tutt, and the late Ronald (the late Sue Tutt-Parsons) Tutt; dear brother-in-law of the late Mary (the late Ruben) Harris and the late Nancy (the late Richard) Stallman; caring uncle and great-uncle of many. Michael had numerous dear friends, many from as far back as childhood. He was an avid golfer, enthusiastic Cubs fan, and fabulous out-of-context storyteller. With a unique sense of humor, Michael had a way of turning strangers into friends – he touched many lives and will be sorely missed.
