DUTILE LACONIA — Philip “Frog” Armand Dutile, 56, of 18A Olive Place passed away April 19, 2012, at his home in Laconia with his loving family and friends.

Philip was born on Feb. 7, 1956, in Laconia, the fifth son of Armand and Theresa (Carrier) Dutile. Welcoming him home were his brothers, Ronald, Danny, Michael and Paul and later the family was blessed with a baby girl, Linda.

Philip was a communicant of Sacred Heart Church.

Philip was interested and shared a family experience, learning of home heating products such as coal and oil, related to his father’s father’s business, Dutile and Sons Oil Co., founded by his uncle, Peter, and currently located on Messer Street in Laconia for almost a century.

Philip attended Sacred Heart High School and Laconia High School and graduated in 1970. He pursued a career as a meat cutter after graduating from the Ohio School of Meat Cutting. His first job was at Walter’s Market and he later worked at Shaw’s Supermarket as an assistant meat manager. His career goal was to own and operate his own business. With the support and encouragement of family and friends, he bought the Corner Deli on Gilford Avenue in Laconia. He retired and sold his business in 1993 due to a muscular disease.

Philip married Suzanne Colstad-Gillen in 1975 and from that union they were blessed with two daughters, Christine and Patricia.

His pastimes after retirement were fishing, camping, and woodworking and he was a copper craftsman, making memorable pieces for family and friends pertaining to events in their lives.
