Michael Tuckett

Michael Tuckett, 70, of Royersford and Eastport, Maine passed away on Tuesday, January 14, 2025 at his home in Royersford. A visitation and memorial service will be held at Catagnus Funeral Home in Royersford on Saturday, January 25. Visitation will be from 11am-12:30pm, and a service will be held from 12:30-1pm. All are welcome to attend. In 2018, "Mr. Tuckett" donated to the marine resources education program at Shead High School in Eastport, where he taught throughout the 1990s. The funds provided a whale-watching trip and new equipment to the students. It was his intention then to continue making this possible in the hopes that students would have the opportunity to get out on the water and foster a love of local biology. In lieu of flowers, please consider making a monetary donation to the school for this purpose in Michael's name. School address: 89 High Street, Eastport, ME 04631.
