JOHN M. TUFTS

Funeral services for John M. Tufts of Kentfield, a former cardiologist at Saint Francis Hospital in San Francisco, will be at 11 a.m. Saturday at Halsted & Co., 1123 Sutter Street in San Francisco.

He was a member of the Presidio Golf Club.

He is survived by James Tufts II of Kentfield and three grandchildren.
