Not sure what to say?

I worked for Dr. Tucker for 10 years in the 80's and 90's. He was such a interesting, cool boss to work for. He never got angry and it was such a nice place to work. I was saddened by the news of his passing. I will always think of Dr. Tucker fondly and his family.

I was very young when I knew Dr. Tucker. I remember when he and his wife took Jimmy, Jane and me to a Chinese restaurant. I remember being scared when I saw a hand on the chair when I went to the bathroom while sleeping in a tent in the backyard with Jimmy. All these things occurred when the Tucker family lived a few houses away from me in Taylor, Michigan. Please know that everything will be alright and that God has Dr. Tucker in his hands.

Mrs. Tucker and Family
I used to work for Dr. Tucker is Abilene, while my husband was stationed there in the mid 90's.
I am saddened to hear of your loss. He was such an amazing presence and an accomplished individual. I have thought of him and your family often over the years. I count it as a blessing that I was able to know him briefly.

Diana & I just got back into the country and were shocked & saddened to read of Jim's passing. I have always had a great deal of respect and admiration for him. After all, he brought me to Abilene to be part of the physician community and the community in general. I could never thank him enough. He was also a great mentor to me in the early years of my practice with advice and assistance. I felt privileged to consider him a friend and colleague. Diana & I want you to...

Sending sympathy at Jim's loss. We lived on the same street in Abilene and Suanne, our
daughter, was one of his first patients when you moved to Abilene in '64. Suanne and I, Evelyn Spires, send out sympathy. What a wonderful family you have!

The Montgomery Bridge Club lost one of its best with the passing of Jim Tucker. An expert player and formidable opponent, he exhibited the best that competitive bridge has to offer. We'll miss him and fondly remember as he usually asked with one table to go: "How are you doing? Do we need to crank up our game?" The answer was seldom: "Yes." Jim was always at the top of his game.

My heart and prayers are with you all. Uncle Jim was always laughing and always making us laugh.
