It's All Right, 'Cause it's Saved by the Bell Thursday!

My favorite day of the week!  What's it gonna be, boy, yes... or...

MR. TUTTLE!!!

Mr. Tuttle was the delightfully random teacher who taught driver's ed and a host of other classes, including "economics", or whatever one had the Buddy Band episode.  Ah, Buddy Bands.  He was always feuding with the fast-talking teacher, Mr. Testaverde, who I think maybe was in Dunkin Donuts commercials?  Mr. Tuttle was always rhyming or making hilarious plays on words, and one time got stuck in a doorway.

Trust me, they work.

But who was Mr. Tuttle, really?  Is he an actual person or suffer the same fates of Denise Richards a la "The Girl Slater saved in the last beach episode who said she was starting at Bayside in the fall but totally never did"?  Let's take a look...

OMG, he passed away two years ago.  I don't know what happened, but he was 59, and he died in LA. 

I'm sorry this one is a Debbie Downer, but remember "Motivate, motivate, motivate!" during the Buddy Bands episode?  Also, the name Jack Angeles is FABULOUS.  I wonder if that was his actual name.
