William Scott "Tex" Tucker

Brother Tex, the stories we had and told each other never got old. I'm glad I bought that Silvertone electric guitar back in the day. You took it to another level.

You are the best guitar player to leave the mining camps of North Idaho. I look forward to picking a few old songs with you on the back porch.

By now you have met my Grandson Kris, and hope you show him a couple of hot licks.

Forever, Your Big Brother, Kenny Wray, aka Ramblin Raymond,...

Can't count the number of great nights I had listening and drinking with Tex in the Hauf. Hadn't seen him in 15 years but the news is tough to take. He brought a lot of smiles to many and helped even more love music.

Ah Tex my friend. All six years I lived in Bozeman, 1994 til' 2000, the high light of my week was performing with you. I so enjoyed you personally and our times together outside the Hauf were even better, although when the magic was in the room we so enjoyed those moments of damn hot music. I think and have thought about you constantly and wish at times we were together, feeding off of each other, creating great sound. I thank you for all the shots and pints of Moose Drool, which wore a ring...

scott and i crossed paths many times back in the 80's. he was such a nice guy, always gracious and kind to me. i always looked up to him, and watched him play in awe. he always had a great sound, with that schecter strat and that old ratty silvertone, fantastic! he never acted like he was better than anyone, and always available to answer questions. he was a very big part of my musical education. he was one of my heros. i will miss you, scott. rest easy, brother.

How wonderful it is to know that Scott had such a positive impact in the lives of so very many. Please know that Scott's Nebraska relatives mourn his passing deeply. Time passed too quickly and intentions to visit always got put off till tomorrow. We'll always remember Scott for his love of life, warm smile, incredible talent, and willingness to help others. A nephew, a cousin, and most importantly a dear friend has passed all too quickly. We're sure he's playing his guitar and catching up...

I was a bartender at the Friendly Tavern, in Belgrade, when my boss, Vicki Bovey, told me we were having the John Colter Band playing at our bar that weekend. I couldn't believe it! The JCB! I had been shakin' to the band, at the Cat's Paw, every time I could--then she told me not to tell anyone because they were playing as an unknown country band called "Tex Tucker and the Twisted Twangers". Our regular customers were in for a real surprise when they came in and saw the JCB, all dressed...

Ride, Capton, ride, upon your mystery ship. You may have seen things others may have missed.

A kinder fellow there never was. Loved by all.

Remembering all the good times over a life times of celebrating music and friendship with Tex, the legendary musician and best of amigos. He will be missed by all.

My preyaers are with Joy through this difficult time. Love to her.

Love and aloha, Dulce Drysdale

Scott, wow, the memories..spending nights at your house in Smelterville and Pinehurst, good times. Playing at the Steelworkers Hall in Kellogg, you, Danny Magnus, Mike Lent, Dave Cowles, Tom Carver and myself. We only did it one time and we all wanted you to have the money to pay off your keyboard. You were at your best when you had an instrument of any kind in your hands. Thanks for the good memories and for being a friend.

To Scott's family: I am deeply saddened to hear about Scott's death. He has been a lifelong friend and has always held a special place in my heart since Junior High days and beyond. Rest in peace, WST.
