The greatest gift my mother ever gave to me was the love of my sister Amy, and brother Putt. I't's comforting to see and hear the positive impact that Putt has had on so many people. He was generous of heart, his time, and the genuine concern for others. While his time on this earth was way too short, I will always cherish that time we had together. God speed,rest in peace my little big brother.

Rest in Peace

So sorry for your loss. I remember when Putt and his son, Chuckie, went with my husband, Ross, all the way up to Northern Maine to pick up our beloved dog Molly. We still have Molly who is now 10 years old. It was so nice of Putt & his son to travel all that way to pick up our dog. Will never forget it! Or him!
Luv,
Cindy & Ross

Deb- We're so sorry for your loss. After reading so many lovely tributes about Putt, We wish we knew him as he sounded like someone I would have enjoyed. I do enjoy you and your family and don't want to know you have an ounce of pain. Please know I'm a phone call away and I truly mean that. Love, Maria Antonucci & Michael Hernandez

Putt had an infectious smile and laugh/ and a bigger than life personality and heart. I'll never forget the way he stepped right up and helped me move. He and Debbie drove two hours each way and helped move furniture and then unload. Putt, we grieve over the loss of you, but we know that you are with Jesus and your parents. Our loss is heaven's gain. Rest well, my friend.

Putt I remember you as a mischievous little boy always doing or getting n trouble. Georgeann was always calling your name. Then the few times I seen you as an adult you were a happy jolly person. Rest in peace.

Putts giving spirit and love he shared with everyone will be missed the most. Have known Putt since he was a little boy and he always had a smile for everyone. May he RIP. Aunt Carol

Putt was the type of guy who would give you the shirt off his back and ask if you needed help to put it on. Always willing to help another and asking nothing in return. He truly had a heart of gold. He will be really missed by this co-worker. We shared laughs and differences but nothing ruined our relationship, except maybe Eagles vs 9ers. You will be sorely missed by this guy. REST IN PEACE PUTTER!!!!
