Not sure what to say?

I was so sorry to hear of Tucker's passing. He hired me at Southern after going thru several temps. I lasted when he thought I couldn't.
He was always understanding and willing to help. I forgot that quality when I made a wrong choice. I never blamed Tucker when I lost my job,but I went on to finish school and become a teacher, something I might not have done if I stayed there.

He will be missed, my dad passed in May and I know exactly what his kids are feeling. God...

I worked with Tucker going back to the Rusty Scupper Restaurant at 475 Francisco Street in San Francisco. I have many fond memories and moments working with Tucker who often walked the talk when it came down to getting things done as the General Manager. Thank you for everything and may you be now flying your dream plane up in the sky.

Your family is in our thoughts and prayers. The Barrett family has a very special place in our hearts. Those we hold dear to us, never truly leave us. May your memories bring you comfort now and always. Sincerely,
The Coffman Family - Charles, Mary, Jim, and Marti

Tucker was my mentor since the 1980's. I met Tucker at Borel's restaurant in San Mateo. He was the salemen for the restaurant I was working for as a bartenter. After years have gone by I met back up with Tucker in San Jose. I was a manager at this restaurant. Tucker helped me advance in this job. Then 5 years later Tucker helped me get a job at Southern Wine and Spirits. He would not let me give up. After two years I started at SWS and I'm still here. I owe it all to Tucker. I will miss...

I worked with Tucker @ Southern Wine & Spirits. When I was an Accounts Payable Coordinator and He was the Manager in the Fresno Office.I enjoyed our conversations. Tucker ALWAYS made it a point to come by my desk when he was in Union City for a General Managers Meeting. I will miss you, Tucker.

I met Tucker Barrett almost 40 years ago when we both worked for Paul Bacon at The Coca Cola Bottling Co. in Burlingame, Ca. He introduced him self with a hearty hand shake, a warm smile and a mischievious twinkle in his eyes. I knew him as my friend and a warrior and he proved it many times over the years. Tucker always stayed the course and fought the fight both bravely and with great courage. With a heavy heart I say "Go with God, Tucker Barrett". He was my friend. I'm glad I knew...

He was a true friend and mentor. He will be missed by all who knew him in my world.

Tucker hired me at Southern 12 years ago almost to the day. He was there when ever I needed help with anything or had any questions.
