House Resolution 129, sponsored by Representative Sparks, honors Paul F. Tuttobene for his exceptional dedication and service throughout his life. Born on December 3, 1930, as the first American citizen in his family after their emigration from Sicily, Italy, Tuttobene's upbringing during the Great Depression instilled in him strong family values and a commitment to faith and American culture. He became a first-generation college graduate from Niagara University and served in the United States Army from 1953 to 1957. Following his military service, he had a successful career at Manufacturers Hanover Trust, where he advanced to the position of senior vice president before retiring in 1990.

In addition to his professional achievements, Tuttobene is celebrated for his devotion to family, having been married to his wife Connie for over sixty-five years and raising two sons while enjoying the company of grandchildren and great-grandchildren. The resolution acknowledges his commitment to public service, reflecting the values that have earned Tennessee the title of the Volunteer State. The House of Representatives extends its best wishes to Paul F. Tuttobene for continued success and happiness in recognition of his honorable contributions.
