Tucker was always playing with us as kids and I remember being a young teen and going fishing with him and Doug and Jim H on Oneida Lake. They were having some refreshments and allowed me to try a sip. We did not catch many fish, but I remember laughing with them and my cousin Steve and just having a good time. They included us like we were just one of the "gang" Thank you Tucker and rest in peace.
Over and over I see the comment " genuine" yes, that's the word. Tucker had not one mean bone in his body, That man was love incarnate, he loved everyone and was loved by all. I think God wanted his angel back..... love ya Tucker!!!!
I has not seen Tucker in person in many years but one could never forget his contagious smile and laughter. He was a great man and leaves many heavy hearts. Prayers to his family and friends.
Tucker was one of the most authentic people I have known. And wherever he was, it was a better place because he was there.
I haven't seen much of him since I moved away, but I was happy to catch up with him a year ago. He was beating himself up for missing the McQuaid reunion; he was confused about the dates. I just thought we would see him at the next reunion. Sadly that won't happen.
Spend one hour with Tucker and you would never forget the experience. Tucker was very intelligent, genuine, an exceptional athlete and loved his family and friends. He chose to be true to himself. He did not conform. He was proud of his family. I will always think of him when I see the Yankees. My favorite Batman!
Tucker and I grew up together.His back yard met mine. The years of our youth were everything right with the world.
Baseball and football games and picking fruit fresh from the farm. Riding bikes in our neighborhood was always an exciting adventure. We "grew up" but Tucker never lost his genuineness and kindness and appreciation for life's daily gifts. The world was a better place with him in it.
We were sad to hear about Tucker's passing. He was a very sincere & kind person & will be missed by many. Our hearts go out to Tucker's family at this most difficult time.
