Not sure what to say?

I first met Roy on a hospice unit. And it was there that the tenderness and gentleness that people speak of shone through as he lovingly cared for Patty in her last days. And it was there that he first met my dear friend Ginnie. What a delight to see a love blossom slowly between them in the months to come. and every time I popped into his Pharmasave thereafter he would come around the counter to speak with me-to share his infectious enthusiasm about choral singing, his grandchildren, his...

As a Soprano in the Victoria Choral Society, I had the pleasure for several years to sit near Roy across the aisle in the Bass section. What a kind, funny, generous, gentle, gentleman he was. We were all better for knowing him.

We will always cherish those memories that have Uncle Roy in them. He was a kind and loving person and always up for a bit of fun! Our sympathies for those he left behind, Ginnie, Pam, Scott, Tony, Jeff and their families.

So very sorry for your loss! Roy was a friendly face and most gentle soul, who I delighted in seeing at the Monterey Centre. He will be missed!

Roy was such a grateful soul, and is gentle heart will continue live on through his children - Pam,Scott,Tony, and Jeff. Ginny was a big part of Roy's life for so many wonderful years, how lucky they had each other.
Roy you have raised such an amazing family, and they are fortunate to have so many fond memories and legacies to carry on the "Tucker" name with pride.. Roy you were one of those people that this world needs more of.

What a beautiful tribute to a wonderful man and loving husband, father, father in law and grandpa. My sincere condolences to Pam/Mike and the entire Tucker clan and all of Roy's many family members, friends and colleagues. Mr. Tucker's legacy is renowned and none more so than his loving family. He has earned his rest after singing and working his way through life for his nearly 9 decades. I treasure the stories shared and being a part of Roy's legacy of 'keeping in motion' and smiling while...

Roy's big smile, friendly nature and passion for singing endeared him to his many friends in the Victoria Choral Society. I'll never forget the joy he brought to our choir. Sincerest condolences to his family.

Roy was a true gentleman. He was one of the first people I met when I joined the Victoria Choral Society 20 years ago. As Section Leader for the Baritones he took me under his wing and made me feel welcomed. He was also one of the original Beer-a-tones who would get together and share drinks in between rehearsals. I am grateful for having known him. My deepest sympathies to the family.

Roy was one of the stalwarts of the Victoria Choral Society, and we missed him after he left.
