Obituary
Passed peacefully away, after a short illness, on Thursday April 6, 2023, Lloyd Earnest Tucker age 89 originally of Port de Grave. Leaving to mourn his loving wife of more than 70 years, Dulcie (Hynes) his sister Irene (Batten) of St. John’s, his son Randy (wife Amy) of Port de Grave. His four grandchildren, Jennifer (John) of Toronto, Keisha (Doug) of Paradise, David (Natasha) of Paradise and Lisa (Byron) of Clarenville. Also, his eight great grandchildren, Haley, Laura, Victoria, Josh, Katerina, Nicholas, Jax and Ryker. As well as a large circle of family and friends.
Predeceased by his only daughter Gail who was taken away at the early age of just 39, his parents Fred and Ida of Port de Grave, his brothers Ray and Gerald and his grandson Paul (just 14 years old).
Lloyd was born and went to school in Port de Grave. After he finished grade 11, he went to teach school on Sops Island, White Bay where he met the girl he would spend the rest of his life with, Dulcie.
Lloyd loved camping, salmon fishing, cod jigging, a good game of cards, his golf cart in Florida and travelling with Dulcie and family.
Lloyd was also predeceased by his best friend Walt (Hynes) who passed only seven hours earlier that day. Seems they wanted to go to the gates together.
He will be missed and forever remembered for his gentle, friendly demeanour and his wonderful smile and sense of humour.
