James Glenn Tuthill was born October 29, 1925 to Henry H. Tuthill and Edith McComis Tuthill. He attended James Madison high school where he was captain of the running team and sweet on Jean Gibson Tuthill. Following graduation June 1943, he enlisted in the Army Air Corp and had his flight training in Louisiana as a navigator, soloing in a Piper Cub. He completed this in December 1945 and attended Georgetown University in the school of Foreign Service. The following year he attended and later graduated from the Wharton School of business. He married his childhood friend and sweet heart Jean Gibson in 1948.

Glenn worked at the Dixon Paper Company in Denver Colorado in 1949 and his oldest daughter Christine Francis was born in May of that year. His middle child Joanne Ruth was born in 1951 and youngest Lorraine Ellen in 1954.
He later worked for a furniture business and had his own laundromat on Ogden St. in Denver. He capitalized on this experience and began to install washers and dryers in apartment houses in the Denver area. He joined with Bob Hackett, and was employed with Wilson Harold in the military, commissary business but eventually had his own business Glenn Tuthill Sales. He flew his own, small Bonanza to many military commissaries within the USA. I should mention that Dad stayed in the Air National Guard for many years, taking him to Buckley Air base on a regular basis to "play soldier" as he used to say.

Glenn adored travel and was able to orchestrate a stint in Munich Germany in 1986. My mother was very involved working as a volunteer coordinator for cancer patients and did not wish to leave her post, so he went on his own. Upon his return to Denver nearly 2 years later, he suffered a heart attack which lead to one implantation of a defibrillator and later a pacemaker. He enjoyed numerous trips to all of the continents except Antarctica, the highlights being  hiking to the base camp (once with wife Jean) of Mt. Everest and traveling on the trans-Siberian railway with eldest daughter. He traveled extensively with his partner Joann to South America, Europe, Mexico and Central America.

Glenn used to say that he was blessed with an extraordinary life and he truly had "a story book life"!!! In lieu of flowers memorials maybe made to American Heart Association http://www.heart.org/HEARTORG/Affiliate/Denver/Colorado/Home_UCM_SWA030_AffiliatePage.jsp in Glenn's name.
