Dear Tucker Family:
My parents, Victoria and James Cullen (now deceased), worked with Mr. Tucker at the Penn Central in the early 1970's. When Mr. Tucker learned that I was preparing a report on early transportation systems of the South Shore for my high school senior project, he offered to send me varioius railroad keepsakes of his (train schedules and tickets, etc, from the late 1800's) to use in my report. His thoughtfulness was much appreciated. My mother said that he was the nicest "VIP" that she ever met!
My deepest sympathies on your loss,
Nancy Cullen

To the Tucker Family,
You don't know me, but after reading about your husband/father/grandfather in today's paper I was moved to write and say "thank-you" to him for his service to our country and to offer my sympathies to all of you as you grieve the loss of a tremendous individual. My prayers are with you.
