It's been a long time but when I heard this name it came to mind quickly who this was. I was a classmate and fellow choir member of Jon and just like everyone else I remember his charm,respectfulness and of coarse his humorous side. To the family I am very sorry for your loss.

Linda, I am so sorry for you and your family's loss. The Jon Tuttle I knew in school makes me sure he was a wonderful and kind husband and father. Reading all of our classmates' kind words about Jon brought back a lot of fond memories. I cannot agree with them all more.

Who would have thought so many lives would be touched by one man over the Internet. Jon had many friends who miss him dearly that he never even met. Jon talked allot about his wife and children. He was so proud of his family. The love he had for them was evident to everyone. Your family will remain in our thoughts and prayers.

Linda,
I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Jon's smiling face was certainly missing from the reunion cruise. Even though we go our separate ways there is still a sense that the world is better with some people in it. There is a little darker spot without Jon. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Jon was thought highly of at work. He worked hard, got along with everyone, and was so easy to talk to. Even after the shift was over, I used to enjoy talking to him about cars and music outside while he was waiting for Linda to pick him up. He will be missed.

My heart aches for you and your family. His death was a great loss to all of us. Jon was a great friend in highschool and as time has passed we all went our seprate ways, but I can only sing his praises because he was the one who was always there no matter what the situation or what the cost. He will be remember for his sense of humor and great big heart, o'yea don't forget the curly hair. He was the person who always made us laugh and sing. I feel as though a small part of my heart was etched away when I heard this news. We will miss you always Jon Tuttle.

Linda,
I am Karen Bovia's sister, Dena Pate, I graduated High School with Jon in 1982. We served on several committee's together and had some classes together, but most of all I remember the fun of hanging out with him in the hall before class or hanging out in the Senior parking lot. He was such a good guy and so full of life. No matter what was going on in his life or what was going on with others, he was always positive and kept everyone in stitches with fun and laughter; It was hard to be in a bad mood around Jon. We missed him at the last reunion, but now he will be missed forever, but never forgotten. Please let us know if we can do anything for you and your family.
Sincerely,
Dena Bovia Pate
