Cathy Byron says
To all the Tuttle Children:
My heart is with you as you say this last goodbye to your father. I’ve visited with him several times in
the post office since we lost your mother. I think he missed her terribly. Now they are together again.
My prayers are with you during this difficult time of loss.

Sorry for your loss.
Tiana Ruiz (Stepp) says
To the Tuttles (Ryan especially), I am so so sorry for your loss! I do think of you all often and the many memories that we have shared. I am very thankful for the happy times spent alongside Dale -and Yolanda-
camping and fishing at the lake, talking over yummy food around the kitchen island, and even sitting on the porch watching the puppies and the ducks run around the yard! Those memories are and will be forever cherished and will always hold a special place in my heart. I can’t even imagine what you are feeling right now, but just want you all to know that my thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. I hope you are able to find peace in knowing that your Dad is now reunited with your Mom in Heaven <3

Susan Hause says
We’re sorry for the pain you’re feeling. I can remember every Forsyth basketball game I went to, Dale and Yolanda were there to cheer on the local students. She always had a big smile for everyone, and he was always a quiet gentleman. I pray God gives you courage and strength to get through this pain with your heads held high, continuing a legacy of an upstanding family. Lean on God and each other for support and love through this painful time. Let others help you through your grief. Love in Christ to all the Tuttle family,
Deith and Karla Allies says
Our prayers are with the Tuttle family. I knew Dale as a steady and reliable bowler. We had lots of fun for several years. Dale and I would always talk when we met uptown. He was a quiet and very likable man.
William and Elizabeth Rodgers says

Tobi Johnson says
To the Tuttle family,
Dale was always a kind soul. I first met him while working at the vet clinic and he’d come in to “ask a question about his cat or dog” but really he just wanted a cup of coffee and to sit and visit. I enjoyed his visits. He will be missed.
Roy & Arlene Pabolo and family says
To the Tuttle Family,
We will visiting with Dale at the Post Office, and up town. I still miss Yolly and her home made treats. Our sincere sympathies to all of their children. He and Yolly are together again with the rest of their family that went before them. R.I.P. to you, Dale and Yolly. Love and Blessings to all the children & families.
Randy & Janet Stanhope says

Melanie Wheeler says
My thoughts and prayers are with Brannon and the entire Tuttle Family.
Doug Grant says
To the Tuttle family, my sincere condolences. I just found out of his passing, Dale and I were shipmates for three years aboard the USS Oklahoma City, and a true friend. He invited me out to Montana when I got discharged in 1968, but I regretfully didn’t make it. I eventually had a twenty five year career as a police officer, then had a small horse farm, that my wife and I enjoyed. Sometimes when I rode my paint, I thought of Dale.
