I grew up with such a large family it was always full of so many cousins of all ages. My grandmas family was so large. Sorry for the loss and being unable to make the service.
Our deepest sympathy, love and prayers.
I am glad we got to speak couple months ago. We hadn’t spoke in awhile, it was great catching up. Brad is my cousin, brother, friend. We spent lots of summers at Flo’s pool, working at Holly hock , later cruising Carmel in our clapped out hotrod, him in his duster, me in my javelin. He got me my first real job working him in mail room at realty company. Our supply car was a old cutlass with T-tops. We would pull the tops even for a two block trip. His wedding was a blast. When I got out of service, he gave me a sales job at a business he started in Warsaw. He was always there when I needed to talk, no BS , straight shooter. Miss you brother.
Where do I begin to talk about this guy. He was my first best friend from the old neighborhood from the time I was 5 or 6. I have so many stories, some can be retold and some will not. We continued our friendship even after he and his Mom moved to Westfield. Linda was my second Mom and she probably got sick of us both. We stayed friends after he moved to Ft Wayne but didn’t get together like we should have. When we would talk on the phone we would revert back like we were still 12 year olds. We would end with speaking of getting together soon. We didn’t force it because I guess we figured that we would have time later. I was wrong about that. I will have to settle for the get together in the next stop in Heaven. I know he is there because he had a huge loving heart. I love you Brad!
I thoroughly enjoyed working with Brad at Lowes. Such a nice guy. He was my go to when i needed help in the store. I hadn’t seen him in several years but will always remember his kindness.
My condolences to his family.
Happy new year, I’ll miss you until we meet again.
I will always remember seeing Brad all skinned up after he tried riding BJ’s scooter in the street. Needless to say that was Brad’s last scooter ride. Our family is very fortunate to be neighbors with the Tuttle family. So sad to hear of Brad’s passing. Prayers for comfort, strength and peace.
Growing up down the street of the Tuttles was never dull. I have vivid memories of us getting in trouble in the creek behind their house. Running from Bees in the back yard. Watching Brad deep fry a turkey for the Holiday. We weren’t easy kids but we all respected Brad. He was a phenomenal Dad to all the neighborhood kids. My condolences and deepest sympathy go out to everyone. Check your pager Brad. We will see you again soon.
