Many days were spent with Tuck during our summers at Katepwa Lake. One of the most common memories was of us sitting together on the deck of Armit´s boat house with brother Bill, after a long day of swimming. On days when it was really hot, Marge provided us with something to drink. As we sat back in our chairs, scanned the lake, we imagined it to be so much larger than it really was. Those were precious carefree times.
As kids together, we explored the valley. Two favourite destinations were the cliffs and dam. Although these were really only a short distance away, back then they seemed like such faraway places. Memories of the swallows swarming in the sky above the steep, clay banks, having fled their many nests upon discovering our presence, were a sight, as were the buffalo fish realizing their folly after being swept over the old wooden dam during spring runoff and their struggle to get back up into the lake. Such a special place.
So many shared adventures and stories. Legend had it the cliffs were once the point where the tribes of the first nations tried to get the buffalo to stampede to during the hunt. And catching a buffalo fish by hand as it tried to swim back up the dam´s slippery spillway was a rite of passage. Tuck was there with us. I recall his fascination and excitement. These were `our´ Huckleberry-type-times together. Tuck, one of the brothers I never had.
Memories endure. The sounds of summer, waves lapping the shoreline, water sparkles glistening. I recall these images and sounds whenever I have difficulty sleeping, calming the mind. We were so fortunate to have shared the experience.
Tuck was the third and youngest member of the Katepwa Trio. And, as I recall, long ago, we really only had one performance, singing "happy anniversary" to my parents one day in August. He performed and gave it his best.
And will always be one of my best friends.
Best wishes to all the Armits,
Jim

So sorry to hear of Tucker´s passing. I had not heard of him in years but he was close to my family when our children were small and we worked together in the energy sector. Sending love and good memories. RIP Tucker.
