Your Father was an amazing man. He was a great role model for the students at Carl Hayden, both in the classroom and on the basketball court. My family went to CHHS from the beginning until 1969.

His children must be very proud of their father. Our heart's are with each and every one of you in this time of your loss. Sincerely, Marilyn and Karl.

God Bless the family during this sad time. Mr. Tuccio was a great teacher and mentor. He had a positive impact on several generations. He will be greatly missed.
