Dear Aunt Lillian, all my cousins and their families:
We are deeply saddened to learn of Uncle Larry's passing. Although we have not spoken in many long years, I still think fondly of my Tuttle relatives. I will miss Uncle Larry's boyish grin and laughter.
In Peace,
Cheryl Ann Tuttle and Ponch Hall (my husband)

Dear Tuttle Family, deepest sympathies to you on the loss of Larry. I remember when Larry and Lillian first moved into the neighborhood and the neighbors got together to meet each other at the house on Black Rock Turnpike. We met many times at the Redding Sr. Center where Larry and Lillian came often. It was always a pleasure to be in his company. May God bless you all at this sad time and give you strength to find peace and heal.
