Daytona Beach News Journal December 25, 2003 TUTTLE, JAMES RICHARD - December 23, 2003, at the age of 63, James Richard Tuttle lost his long battle with throat cancer and died peacefully while at home in the care of Hospice and his companion, Dr. Candace Drennen, PhD. "Jimmy," as he was affectionately known by his closest friends, had been a resident of Volusia County for more than 40 years, having moved here as a young man from his native state of Maine. He successfully owned and operated several local businesses which all involved tourism and leisure activities in Volusia County. These included beach concession rentals of jet skis, ATVs and parasail ocean rides. As quoted from one of his closest friends, Jim's personality was much like a "burnt marshmallow" - thick, crusty hard shell over a soft and sweet interior. Over the period of his life, Jim was known to help many friends who were in financial or emotional distress, never making any pretense of such help. He was an avid sports plane pilot and instructor o! f student pilots, housing his airplanes pricinapally at the Flagler County Airport. Tuttle was a true outdoors man. God Speed Jimmy. A memorial service celebrating the life of James Richards "Jimmy" Tuttle will be conducted 2 p.m. Monday, Dec. 29, in the chapel of the funeral home. Arrangements entrusted to New Life Cremation and Funeral Chapel, 333 S. Yonge St., Ormond Beach, FL. 386.676.1333.
