Kent Tuthill

After school I worked for went to college for a year, But just wanted to take a brake. Went back to work for Eagle Army and Navy, as a Asst. Manager in Fort Pierce, then got my own store in Clewiston, had some medical issues.
Worked for Hughes Supply in Fort Piecre until I went into the Navy. In the Navy i was a Sonar Tech and stationed on 2 Submarines, Saw alot of sea time and several ports of call Portsmouth and Plymouth England, Faslane Scottland, Rio Janeio, Brizal and several others.
Left the Navy after 6 years and wnat to work for RCA at the Naval Underwater and testing Site in the Bahamas on Androes Island. After that moved to Virginia and work for Unidyne (Navy Contractor). Now it is 28 years later and still working for the same company. Work on our nuclear submarines, One of the many differents jobs I have worked on is testing the Sonar systems is doing the final Dockside testing and At-Sea Tests out of a Shipyard overhaul. After 26 years of doing this I do not ride them out to sea. I did my last Sea Trials, have seen too many tings go wrong but always came back in one piece. My Mom passes away on 27 April 2011. Looking forward to retiring in 2017. After retirement we are planning to live in Canada half of the year, leaving to go south right after the first Snow and then returning after the last and during the weather months live in south Florida. This has been a one hell of a year I went in to have my Right Knee replace. When I was in pre op my heart rate shot up to 195, they rush me into the ER it took three hours before they got it under control. I had to go through alot of testing and everything check okay. Then in February 23 I had it replaced and all went good until the day after and my heart rate went up and they took me to ICU and I was there for 3 days then PCU for a day and back to my room for 3 days and Then I went to a Rehab for three weeks, I went home and went to rehab 3 days a week for 6 weeks and went back to work at the end of April. My Knee is not 100 % but about 85%. Then on 14 July my Daughter got married in Canada It was a wonderful wedding. On the way home I stopped and saw my Aunt and cousin who I have not seen in 35 years in Rochester NY. Time is going by too fast it is 8 months from the time I last updated anything. Back in October I did my first job on board a submarine and all went good.

In 2018 we sold our home and moved into a 62 and over apartment. I retired on 1 July. We are moving to Canada and living with our Daughter and family in Kingston. Dawna was able to cross the border, but I wasn't aloud too. Hopefully I will be able to cross soon. Well I am still in Sackets Harbor NY, the border is still not opened and most likely won't for some time. I got my COVID 19 Vaccine shots . Kent passed away on January 1st,2023
