I'm sad.... he was my favorite Cdr. He was a great officer and remembered everyone's first name. Rest in peace, Sir!

Introduced once and he never forgot your name! An amazing man.

BG Tuck never gave off the aura that "I'm a General". He was another soldier. RIP sir.

BG Tuck was a great Commander. RIP, you will be missed by all.

A good Man & Officer. Enjoyed serving under him. RIP

I had the great pleasure of being assigned to WHCA while he was Commander. The very first time I met him, he already knew my name and it was an impression that has always stayed with me.  He cared about his troops, and always put them first while accomplishing WHCA's mission.
His family is in our thoughts and prayers. 
Marie Roby Cannon, SGM, USA (Ret)

Gen. Tuck was a great man and leader.  I worked for him at the White House in the early 1980's.  We will all miss him!

One of the finest commanding officers I had the honor to serve under.  He set by personal example a high standard of integrity.

I had the honor of serving under General Tucks Command at the White House. He was a decent and honorable man. If our country only had more men like this. RIP General Tuck!

Karen and I send our deepest sympathy to General Tuck's family.  Although I did not serve WHCA during General Tuck's tenure as Commander, our hearts are saddened by the loss of one of our own. WHCA members are family, regardless of period served. God be with the family, especially at this time.  General Tuck has reported to the Supreme Commander of us all.

I was honored to have BG Tuck as a commander at WHCA.  He was one of the best commanders I ever served under.

I had the honor of serving under General Tuck while I was in the White House Communications Agency.  He was a fine officer who genuinely cared about his soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines.

I am very sorry to hear of his passing.

My condolences to the family.  He was a great commander at WHCA.

On behalf of the women and men of the 1600 Communications Association we extend our deepest sympathies to the family. General was Tuck was a most beloved and admired Commander of our unit, the White House Communications Agency from June 1982 to January 1984. He will be greatly missed. Rest in peace, Sir.

Thinking of the family during this difficult time, with sympathy on your loss.
