Coach Gary Rankin, Alcoa, named his first son after Coach Tucker - John Tucker Rankin - now playing at TTU. Shows the respect coaches had for Coach Tucker.

Forty-three years coaching.... I can't even imagine the number of young men's lives that he impacted.  One of his favorite sayings was, "Just do right."  Thanks for the advice coach!!!

Maybe the best thing that is said about a person is how they touched lives positively. Usually the person doesn't even realize. Good article in the Sun, I had never heard the Ernest Fields practice story.

I went to Coach Tucker's funeral today....was supposed to last one hour and it lasted two....a lot of tears and laughter....needless to say the Church was packed...a lot of former coaching opponents of coach T were there to show their respects....former Huntingdon coach Mike Mansfield...former Jackson South Side coach Jerry Hayes just to mention a couple...it was a touching tribute to a great man...
