Mr Tucker will be greatly missed by all who knew him. Patti and I were lucky, we got to see him most every day walking, out in the yard, or washing the cars which he did almost daily. We've lost not only a neighbor, but a true friend. I'll help look out for Inez Mr Tucker, you have earned you're rest. God Bless.
