Mr. Tucker,
It was truly my pleasure to hear you and your guests play over the years. From the Desoto Hilton to The Pirate's House, to the Westin. As a student at Savannah State, I used to actually study to your play. Some how it made Accounting, Tax, and an assortment of other classes make sense. Along with a few cocktails. Because of you, I began to take music seriously and traditional jazz became my favorite medium of expression. Take care Chief. Keep on playing.

Gloria,
Paul and I just learned the sad news of your loss. You and Ben gave us a precious memories. The day we spent on a beach in Barbados, Ben's golf advice for Paul and the Fish Fry at Plumtree and of course the wonderful music at The Waterfront Restaurant on the island. We will keep you in our hearts. Carole and Paul Johnson,Bath,Maine
