Bill Tuttle, Longtime Letter-Writer, Passes Away

I was recently reading Letters to the Editor in the March 30 issue of Numismatic News and came across the letter from Pat Silva, who mentioned just how much he enjoyed reading Bill Tuttle’s letters about Coinstar finds. Pat’s letter reminded me that I have been terribly remiss in reporting to all of Bill’s fans, that Bill passed away suddenly from complications from surgery, in September of 2020.

Bill was a member of several Cleveland-area coin clubs, including the Western Reserve Numismatic Association and the Garfield Hts. Coin Club. Bill was also a dedicated stamp collector. I don’t need to tell you that Bill was a passionate, and opinionated, collector. But he was also witty and had a great sense of humor. He was also dedicated to his hobby. Bill did readership, I wasn’t the only one who Bill touched. Rest in Peace, Bill.
