Edward Carlton Tuttle Sr.

SKOWHEGAN – Edward Carlton Tuttle, Sr., 88, born in Pittsfield on Dec. 9, 1936, was a loving husband, a dedicated father, and a loyal friend. Edward was a resilient man through and through, forging a remarkable legacy that is fondly celebrated. His passion for life, his firm belief in hard work, and his tenacity marked his journey from his birth to his passing on Sept. 28, 2025.

Throughout his life, Edward was a beacon of dedication. His career in the dairy/grocery industry as a salesman was marked by his unwavering commitment. He loved working and was known by everyone when he retired as a handyman for the town office in Skowhegan. Edward was also a proud member of the Marine Corp League, Maine Leathernecks #1361, demonstrating his undying loyalty to service.

His hobbies were vast and varied, from gardening to carpentry, refurbishing neighborhood bikes to selling at the local Mile Long Yard Sale. He was as loving as he was loyal, adoring his wife and spending his time with her doing everything. He loved his family deeply, enjoying camping throughout Maine and Florida, and shuffleboard with his buddies in Bushnell, Fla., where he wintered.

He was predeceased by both his parents, Charles Lewellyn Tuttle and Mildred Blanche (Butler) Tuttle, brother Charles Tuttle, and his grandson Edward Carlton Tuttle, III.
