I remember Bill growing up as the coolest teacher I ever had. Bill was my PE teacher at Parkside Elementary school in San Mateo and always had a big smile. Bill was a very down to earth man who always had the best interest of the kids in mind and drove confidence in everyone he was around. You will be missed!

Bill Tucker was my P.E. instructor at Parkside elementary school in San Mateo, CA. He was an awesome teacher. The fact that he was a former pro athlete was secondary to me. Today, 2/23/16, I decided to look him up to see what had become of the coolest teacher I had way back when. I'm about 4 months too late. But Mr. Tucker, you left an impression on my life. I appreciate you.

How well do I remember Bill Tucker When I came to TSU in 1964 as a running back. He and Eugene Bowens were the reasons Coach John Merritt told me " you will have to set the bench, 3 years.
He was a big running back and treated me OK. I really admired and respected him and Gene.
To the family, May GOD comfort all of you. It is indeed a pleasure to know " BIG BAD BILL TUCKER ". A nightmare to tackle TOO.
Rest in PEACE BILL. Clevon Thompson
