My deepest sympathy and heartfelt condolence to Charlotte, Tucker, Sandy, Junior, and all family members and friends of my cousin, Bobby Tucker. We had drawn close in recent years to the extent that we mutually agreed we were more like brothers than cousins. There seemed to be no limit to his knowledge about a variety of subjects and his desire to help those less fortunate. There will be quite a few feral cats who will mourn his loss. He did more for them than many parents do for their own children or other family members. Bobby was the kind of guy that made others men want to be a better man themselves. I saw him this past June and hoped to be there again in early spring or whenever he might want or need me to be there. So long, dear Cuz, til we meet on the other side. You are already sorely missed. Our loss is Heaven's gain.

Words can't express what a great man we've lost or how much he will be missed. He was a very special cousin and friend to me, and we all thought the world of him.

To Jr. and the rest of the family, I am sorry to hear about Bobby's passing. Haven't communicated with him in a while, but will always remember the friend he was to me back in the 80's,
My condolences to his daughter, Charlotte, also.
