Dearest Millie,
I just learned this morning of Tucker's death while going through the obituaries while online. I am so sorry for you and your children. When we last were in touch you mentioned that he was not well and you would not make it to Naples this winter. I always looked forward to your trip every year. We always had a fun time going out to dinner and catching up on family and friends. You are in my thoughts and prayers! Fortunately, you have your wonderful family for support.
When I come back to Buffalo this summer we have to plan to get together!
Warmest regards,
Roz Jureller

Sorry for your loss. I shall remember Steve as a true gentleman and dear friend. I share fond memories of playing golf at OPCC with Steve and the guys. We had lots of laughs together on those early Saturday mornings. Please accept my deepest condolences. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Millie and Family,
My condolences and sympathy on the passing of Tucker.We met 63 years ago as freshmen at St.Bonaventure,and kept in touch since then,even though we lived hundreds of miles apart.
While attending Bonas,Tucker and his family invited me to their home on numerous weekends, knowing that I lived too far away to get home.They made me feel like one of the family.
