Marilyn, Karen, Maureen & Family,
My sincere condolences on your loss. We have a very special place in our hearts for Art, he will be truly missed.
Arthur was a customer when I worked at Walgreens in North Haven. He was so funny and made me laugh every time he came in. I’d say, “Tell me that joke that I love!” He’d say, “Which one?!” and then he’d have to keep telling me different ones til I’d say, “Yes! That’s it!” I’ll never forget him and his humor and how devoted he was to Jessie.
Our VCH, Veterans Coffee House meets monthly at the Wlfd Senior Center which not only gives our Vets the chance to socialize but also take part in enjoying a guest speaker which are related to military topics, slide presentations and Q&A.
At this very difficult time, our group would like to honor the loss of Arthur Tuttle as a fallen brother. Our military Veterans send out their heartfelt condolences to the Tuttle family and friends. As an Navy Veteran, he had joined an elite group of honorable men and our Country will forever be in his debt.
My sincere condolences to the family. I first met Arthur back in the early 2000’s at Dunkin’ Donuts across from McDonald’s on Washington Ave in North Haven.
He would buy a breakfast sandwich, a coffee and we would have a conversation about current events and share a laugh or two. R.I.P.
