One of the kindest, caring men I have ever blessed to call my friend. So very thankful we got to have him for so many years. Heaven is richer today because Dr. Tucker has joined Joyce and they are now back together. Love to Jantha and your siblings and all the many others who loved him.
With a sad, yet, happy heart. Denise Biddy Moon

Dr. Tucker was a kind and wonderful doctor. Our family knew him well. He was our physician and fellow church member. Our prayers are with the Tucker family.

Dr. Tucker was one of the finest, most generous, and decent a person I have ever known. He was a knowledgeable
and kind-hearted family physician to my grandmother, my parents, and my siblings. He was also my father's (Frank) farming landlord. He stood by my dad in good times and bad, and I will always appreciate him for that. Rest in peace, Dr. Tucker. Sincerely, your former patient and friend, John Wick

My fondest memory of John and Joyce was made when I sat behind them at a livestream of the Metropolitan Opera. He was so solicitous of her, tucking in her lap robe, making sure she had popcorn and a drink. I asked him, "Dr. Tucker, do you always spoil her?" With a truly sweet smile he replied, "Oh, I hope so!"

If there has ever been a kinder and more caring man, I haven't met him yet. I knew Dr. Tucker not only as a physician, but as a talented member of the South Texas Chorale. Prayers for peace for the family and friends. He's reunited with his beloved Joyce.
