KENNETH ALLAN TUTTLE December 19, 1938 - April 28, 2012 It is with heavy hearts and wonderful memories that we say goodbye to our loving husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather and brother. Kenn will be lovingly missed by his wife Jackie, brother Fred, sister Cheryl Ramsay (Ernie), son Tim (Beverly), daughter Tammy Tuttle-Letts (Philip), and son Todd (Kathleen); grandchildren Kirstie York, Shaylah Tuttle, Elliot and Emma Letts, Victoria, PJ, Andrea and Jillian Tuttle; great-granddaughter Alorah York; special friends Mark and Rie MacVean, and numerous cousins, nieces and nephews. Kenn was predeceased by his mother Mavis in 1981, sister Su-Ann in 2002, and father Jack in 2005. Born in Winnipeg, Kenn completed his schooling in the Brandon and Shilo areas and attended the Radio College of Canada, joining the Department of Transport in 1957 as a Radio Operator. Kenn married Jackie (Ladly) of North Bay, ON on Grey Cup Day, 1960, much to the chagrin of numerous guests and spent the subsequent years building and nurturing a loving family in many of the glamorous parts of Canada including Windsor, The Pas, Churchill, Vancouver and Ottawa. Kenn's career with Transport Canada spanned 33 years as a Radio Operator, Radio / Radar Technician, Telecommunications Area Manager, and Personnel Officer. In 1986 Kenn left his post as the Director of Staff Relations Operations due to health issues and returned to Winnipeg before retiring in 1991 as Director Personnel. While in Ottawa, Kenn held various positions with the Gloucester Skating Club, including four terms as President. Immediately prior to their settling in Winnipeg proper, Kenn and Jackie lived in St. Francois Xavier for 12 years, where he served three terms as Councillor / Deputy Reeve and enjoyed coaching hockey, curling, golf and volunteering in various capacities. Special thanks to: Dr. John Geddes, Health Sciences Centre, for his many years of helping Kenn with his heart problems and to the staff at the Pacemaker and Heart Failure Clinics, Doctors Sathianathan, Cordova Zerioth and Lu for their patience, care and understanding, and to the staff and doctors at Riverview Health Center 3E for their loving care. Cremation has taken place. A service of remembrance will be held on Saturday, May 12 at 11:00 a.m. at Headingley United Church, 110 Bridge Road, Headingley.
