There are no words to express how much we love you, Randy, Billie, Chris, Matt, Bryanna, and Colton. We were talking the other night of all the memories that we have of R.M. from him taking me under his wing when I joined the guard unit, the stock car races, and his hunting tales. He will be missed very much and if we can do anything at all please do not hestiate to call one of us. WE LOVE YOU!!!!

My deepest sympathy to you, Trella, and your family in the loss of R. M. Tucker. Though he was a couple of years ahead of me at Pottsville High School, I always looked up to him as a super athlete and overall nice person.
