Robert "Bob" Tucker

Robert Tucker "Bob", 82, of Walton, Kentucky, and formerly of Rolla, Missouri, and Huntley, Illinois, passed away on Monday, December 8, 2025, at his residence. Born and raised in Arkansas, Bob was the son of Robert "Jack" and Bonnie Tucker.

Bob earned his bachelor's degree from the University of Arkansas and went on to spend his professional life in the telecommunications industry.

He spent many years in Rolla, Missouri before later making his home in the Sun City community of Huntley, Illinois. Bob loved the outdoors and found his greatest joy in fishing and hunting. When he was no longer able to be out in the field, his passion turned into gun collecting.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Jack and Bonnie Tucker, and wife Arlene Olander and partner Jackie Lower.

Bob is survived by his children, Michael (Amy) Tucker and Catherine (TJ) Carroll; grandchildren, Jacob Carroll, Corinne, Benjamin and Evan Tucker; sister, Nancy Compton; nieces, Robin Compton and Karis Cromartie; and best friend, Ivan Oestreich.
