Not sure what to say?

I miss his sweet smile. He was a dear person.
Joan Doyle Johns Creek, GA

I write this on the first anniversary of Daddy's death and wish I had the words to express my great love and respect for him. Each day I realize how strong and consistently good he and my mother were together and individually. His devotion to his family (including many grandchildren and in-laws),his patients and the community was unwavering. I, my mother and the rest of the family are very grateful for all of your kind words and touching glimpses into his past with you. I miss him terribly...

Dr. Tucker diagnosed my Type 2 Diabetes when I went to him for my annual flight physical in January 1996. He told me if I would follow his instructions I would be flying again in a matter of months. On a strict diet and daily exercise program five months later and 60 pounds lighter I passed my physical and returned to flying. To this day, I follow his instructions and remain free of diabetes with proper dist and exercise. I clearly have Dr. Tucker to thank for that. I will always remember...

I did not know Dr. Tucker but I grew up in College Park. He cared for my aunt and uncle, James and Pauline Smith, for many years after they moved to (old address) 999 Washington Road in East Point in 1937. He was much appreciated.
What an interesting life and contribution to his fellow humans.

Dr. Tucker had a dedication to the East Point community that is seldom seen. All of the kids who had accidents spent time in his office as it was the Emergency Room for the town. I have had the honor of working in the hospital industry for 30 years but I never met a Physician that I respected more than DR. Tucker.

Thinking of your family during this time of loss.

On behalf of all of us, thank you "Doc Tuck"...it was you who put me back in the cockpit after a horrific automobile accident in 1996....Sir,our prayers go with you and your family...your kindness will be long remebered.

As a child, in the late 1940's, I visited Dr. Tucker for the first time. He was upstairs, over the East Point Pharmacy at Cleveland and Main streets. He was my Doctor until he retired in 1998, I missed him very much.

What a grand and fine man this was!
God Speed, Doc Tuc. Fair winds...
