The family of Robert F Burns of Woburn, MA will never forget Dr. Tucker. We are so sorry to just hear of his passing. He was wonderful to my husband thru many years of heart and cancer illnesses. He will be sorely missed by all who knew him.

Dr. Tucker was a wonderful doctor, compassionate, gentle and reassuring.  He is irreplaceable.  My sympathies to his family for their loss.

My family and I just learned today of Dr. Tucker's passing.  We offer our heartfelt sympathy to his family and friends.  He was not only our doctor but a friend to my mother when she was coping with my father's Alzheimer's disease.  His advice and kindness were invaluable when she was feeling overwhelmed.  The world is a better place for his having been with us.  Sincerely, Marie and David Melaragni and Kathleen MacNeill

Dr. Tucker was my cardio doctor for several years. His passion for his profession is something I will  never find in another doctor.  He diagnosed me right away and saved my life.  He was the best.  Truly saddened to hear about his passing this week

My family and I will miss Dt. Tucker. I was with him for at least 30 yrs. I trusted him as a doctor and a friend. He took very good care of us. He will surely be missed.     Joanne Kairo - Woburn, Ma.

I was Dr. Tucker's patient for 12 years at the time of his passing..  At age 45 I thought my life was over with some heart problems.  Dr. Tucker was up beat  all through his treaments with me  over a 4 year span,  With his guidence, patience my heart problems pretty much corrected themself.  I will truely miss him.  My thoughts are with his family at this time.

A man of quality who will be missed.  Condolences to the family.

Dr Tucker will be missed. He treated all as a special patient. A very kind and considerate person. Chet/Carol Howe

I was very saddened to hear of Dr. Tuckers passing. He was my Mom's doctor for over 30 years. Who looks forward to a Dr.s appointment? Well my Mom for one as well as many of his other patients from what I am reading. He was also my doctor because my mom recommended him so highly. He was a very patient, kind, compassionate, knowledgeable human being. My mom passed in 2006 and Dr. Tucker did everything he possibly could for her throughout her illness, while battling his own. He was a very courageous man and I personally, will miss him.

I was one of Ken's interns when he was a resident at Tufts.  He was a perfect role model for us young trainees, one of the residents who we all tried to emulate.  He will be sorely missed.


   Mrs Tucker and family;  We  are very sorry for your loss.  Dr. Tucker was a wonderful compassionate person and loved by all.  He was my doctor for over 20 years, and will be missed.

With deepest sympathy.
 
Ron Verheyen & Family

Ken was a completely beautiful person - inside and out. There is absolutely no way to express how much he will be missed by us all.  We were lucky to have him in our lives.  SO much love to Marsha, Annie and Scott,  xx

To the family of Dr. Tucker, He was a superb human being, compassionate doesn't do justice to such a wonderful person. Thanks Dr. Tucker for helping and saving my grandmother so many times, and for being there for my mom in her times of need. I thank you. The world has lost a dignified physician to which he brought so much hope to his patients and their families.

Dear Marsha and Kathy,
I am very saddened to learn of Ken's death.  I've known him since seventh grade (oh how all the girls chased him!) and he was always a wonderful friend.  Just last week I was at the former Wanamaker's holiday light show (it's now Macy's) in Philadelphia and remembered seeing it in college with Kenny-- and how he jumped around the toy department on a pogo stick.  My thoughts are with your family at this difficult time-- he will be missed by many!

thoughts and prayers for Marsha, Annie, Scott Tucker and to Kathy and Howey Sachs,  and all the Sachs Family. Kenny will be missed by all.

i was a neighbor of Ken In  elkins park and went through school with him from 
kindergarten through high school. i echo jeff topkis' 
beautiful remembrance as kenny was always thought of as someone we all looked up 
to. We knew he was special 
and mature beyond his years. yet he was always accessible, 
warm, and a true friend. i am 
so saddened to learn of his passing. my deepest sympathy
 to his family
Cheltenham High Class of '65

Ken and I went to high school together. We all even knew back then  that we were in the presence of an exceptional person. We all wanted to be Ken, know Ken and were proud to call him friend. His speech while running for school president is still the most stirring and honest speech I've ever heard at any level. He was our leader, our compass  He showed us how to do things right and we tried,in our way, to emulate his behavior. There is a hole in the heart of every student in the class of '65 at Cheltenham High School. My sincere and profound sympathy go out to the Tucker family.  The world has lost an exemplary human being.

What can I say about Dr. Tucker that hasn't already been said. I have been under his "care" since this 1980's and he is truly a very special human being and a wonderful doctor. My heart goes out to his family and his staff who were like family to him and it showed in the care that was given when you went to his office. I will miss him terribly. RIP Dr. Tucker.

Ken and I were interns and residents together at Tufts years ago.  He was a wonderful physician and colleague.  Camilla and I will keep him and his family in our prayers.

We were so sad to hear about Dr. Tucker.  He took care of my Dad for 26 years and he was also my Mom and I's doctor.  We all loved him very much. I looked forward to my yearly check ups with him because he was so kind and caring.  I loved sitting and talking to him in his office. We will miss him very much and our prayers go out to his family.

As you know the Saint Louis Sachs Family have been thinking about you all day.  You are probably just about to go home after the funeral.  Last night...I took out our wedding album and showed the girls and Andrew pictures of Kenny getting down at our wedding!  He was such a sweet soul.  Thinking of you every minute.  Love, Susie, Jonathan, Rebecca, Jessica, and Andrew

My wife worked for Dr. Tucker for many years and I was fortunate enough to be one of his patients.

Dr.  Tucker was a wounderful and caring  person.  I was lucky to be
