Being an avid Broncos fan, he always enjoyed professional and college football, the Colorado Rockies, basketball games, drag racing, refurbishing and tinkering with anything that didn’t work correctly. He was a master of woodworking – building furniture and a huge variety of things.
Red was a very hard worker all his life – was really a jack of all trades. He served in the Army, worked for Sessions Construction, and operated his own business for many years – Red’s Trash Service.
Red is survived by two sons, Gerald (Bub) and Brent Stuteville, grandsons Josh and Matt Stuteville and granddaughter Annaleigh Stuteville; siblings Lonna Casaliggi of the Bronx, New York, Donna Earl of Wray and Lynette Sparks of Hotchkiss; nieces and nephews James Presley of Knoxville, Tennessee; Donna Casaliggi and Lisa LaBarbera of the Bronx, New York and John Casaliggi of Flushing, New York; Pam Kiser of Vernon, Patty Hendrix of Holyoke, Julia Boren of Montrose and Evan Earl of Wray; Camilla Kim of Bend, Oregon and Josh Sparks of Hotchkiss.
