Uncle Ray instilled my love for fishing. Every morning at dawn he would come down the lane to Nan’s and toss pebbles at the window to wake me up and take me out jigging. I can still picture him at the tiller with his pipe in hand. He was so kind and gentle, even the nurses remarked the same to me last week that he was the nicest man they had met. I can only wish to leave such a legacy.

I offer my condolences on the passing of Mr. Tucker. I also want to express my gratitude to him for his willingness nearly 45 years ago to put his confidence and trust in me, a fledgling teacher unknown to him, and offer me the privilege of teaching the children of Morris Academy in Mount Pearl for the next 29 years. Because of him my life was greatly enriched. He was a kind, gentle man. I hope it gives you comfort to know that he had a profound impact on the lives of others. I wish you peace in your hearts as you mourn his passing. Sincerely, Linda Harnett
