You have my deepest sympathies. Some of my favourite childhood memories are of walking into the bake shop with those amazing smells, picking up a loaf of bread or some doughnuts fresh out of the fryer.
The Duttman’s were kind enough to give my mom a job for a short time. A job she loved and looked forward to going to every week.
I remember your dad having a booming voice and a “larger-than-life personality!! Will be sadly missed by all.
Thoughts and prayers.

Dear Anna and Family
I was deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Ulrich. He was truly great man and I always enjoyed his stories and will sure miss not seeing him out looking after his yard. I cherished the bread that he would share with me. Now if only I could have tried those Apple Fritters which every one told me were that absolute Best!
May you and all of your family cherish all the great memories of the great Baker, as he always spoke so good about all of yous.

Rosemary, Ivan and family,
sorry to hear of your dad’s passing. He will stay close to you everyday in your cherished memories….When I first moved to Hensall, the bakery quickly became one of my favourite places in town…..it smelled so good just to walk through the door…..I think my favourite were the donuts where the hole was filled with cherry and then they were dusted with icing sugar….my husband Frank loved the giant cookies he made for a while, chocolate chip or oatmeal raisin, oatmeal for me, chocolate chip for Frank….Frank just loved taking them in his lunch for work and seeing the looks from the others at the size of his cookies….always made him smile…………….Sending you love and hugs

Dear Mrs. Duttman & family,
We were so very sad to learn of the passing of Mr. Duttman. He will be greatly missed. His smiling face and the kind words he had for folks, as he went about his business, will be remembered. Duttman’s Bakery was a big part of lives in the village we called home. In retirement, it was always lovely to run into you & Mr. Duttman, around the county, as we did our shopping and errands. Wishing you the peace that comes with fond memories and a life well-lived.
Condolences to the entire family.
