David C. Tuele, aka Pigiman, passed away on June 9, 2011. He was born Nov. 10, 1931, in Waterbury, Conn., to Frank and Florence (Chiarella) Tuele.
He served in the U.S. Marine Corps from September 1949 to February 1963. He was a combat veteran of the Korean conflict from September 1950 to July 1953, and was enjoined in the Cuban Missile blockade in October 1962.
Dave was an avid biker for over 50 years and numerous accidents, broken bones, etc., could not deter him from riding. His claim to fame was always that he had more brothers 'n sisters than anyone alive, 'n he was fair 'n impartial to most of them. And for the "special ones," you know who you are. Thank you one 'n all for a glorious lifetime. Do not grieve, consider this last ride to the Bama as another birthday ride bash to enjoy - you can bet that I'll be there with ya'll.
Dave was predeceased by his parents and brother, Louis L. Tuele. He is survived by his daughter, Laura M. Tuele, of Albuquerque, NM; son, Shane M. Tuele, of Mary Esther, FL; brother, Francis "Sonny" Tuele (Audrey), of Fort Walton Beach, FL; sister, Virginia Tuele Rosa (Carl), of Waterbury; nieces, nephews; three stepdaughters, Daphny, Brandi and Jessica.
