It's probably pretty silly for a woman of my age to call him my "Daddy" but he always introduced me as his "baby". I have a book that I read to my son when he was a young boy titled, LOVE YOU FOREVER BY Robert Munsch. I'll paraphrase some of it here: At the beginning of the book the parent is singing to their baby as they are holding him, "I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always, As long as I'm living my baby you'll be." Later in the book the baby (all grown up now) is holding the elderly parent and singing to him, "I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always, As long as I'm living my Daddy you'll be." I held my Daddy all night and morning before he passed away, telling him that we loved him and encouraging him that it was ok to leave us and go to Heaven to be with Mama. I'm happy for him because he's together again with my Mama, but I'll miss them both terribly for the rest of my life. I'll never forget the Best Man I'll ever know, the love of my life, My Daddy (and I'll always be His Baby).

Mr. Tucker influenced my outlook on life and work ethic more than I could have ever imagined in my younger years.He was a true Man amoung men who had the rare reputation of his word "being the gospel". I never knew him to break his word, and I always knew him to stand for what is right. I will miss him in my heart. My prayers are with his Family
