To my Double Cousin Arthur Tucker, who we always considered to be an Uncle. Before the word "role model" became coin as a popular phrase you were looked upon as the one to follow. Many good times at the Tucker and Hunter family reunions, the best were when the hotel would mix up our reservations given we shared the same 1st name.
We it comes to family Arthur and his brothers are at the top. Driving from Cleveland and Charlotte to attend whatever and wherever the events. They represent that family love. Best of all was the bond between the kids which we all looked upon as 1st cousins due to we shared the same grandparents on both side of the family. Two brothers married two sister..... and from the stories we heard all the time. They all living in the same house.....wow.
You will be remembered forever.

The Tucker Family,
My deepest condolences to you all. Coach Tucker was my distance track coach at West Charlotte. He was the one to spot my talent for mid-distance events. He was well-balanced between being encouraging and persistent about practicing like you plan on performing. That is a lesson I have held on to. Rest In Peace Coach Tucker!

To the Family of Mr. Arthur Tucker,
We are deeply saddened on the death of Arthur. Our time with him was always cheerful. It seems like yesterday in November 2019 that our visit with him at the Manor was very reminiscing and uplifting. “We will deeply miss him.” Our prayers are with the family. May God continue to be with you in our loss.

Mr. Tucker, was a wonderful teacher and mentor. I will forever remember him during my years at Coulwood Junior High School. He was tough but fair. I will forever remember him as kind and handsome gentleman who truly cared about his students. Thank you Mr. Tucker. To Todd my longtime friend, my prayers are with you during this difficult time. It's amazing God called both our fathers home a day apart from one another. I truly believe they walked into heaven together. May God cover you and keep you strong as you endure the void you feel from this incredible loss. Rest in paradise Mr. Tucker.
