Condolences & Tributes
Add A CondolenceTo the Family: My condolences to all of you. May the memories you shared together and the promises found at John 6:40 and Acts 24:15 provide comfort at such a difficult time. All of God’s promises will be fulfilled, so look to the future with confidence.
Sincere Condolences, loved by all at 3rd MEDCOM, quiet but hard working soldier With regards, MAJOR (Ret) Theresa Hand
Fred was a respected, loving, and great co-worker to have around at work. A Good Morning made him smile as he started his day headed out to the drill field to "Drill" the day's tasks. He loved his Church's chicken at lunch sitting in his NFL chair with friends taking the time to stop by and say HI to him (as well as Dallas winning discussions). When he was active duty for SGM he was missed and we all counted the short timer days to get him back to our team. His office space hasn't been the same since his retiring from the Fire Department and was often thought of with smiling words of his drill tactics. From my family to the Tucker family, may you find comfort in the next few weeks and take it one day at a time. God Bless and remember the memories, for they are precious. Cindy Sprouse
My sincere condolences to the Tucker family and friends. May our Jehovah GOD grant you strength and comfort during this most challenging time. Remember GOD is a GOD of all comfort. “GOD is our refuge and strength, A help that is readily found in times of distress.” Psalm 46:2. Also know we have the real hope of being reunited with our love ones. John 5:28, 29.
My sincere condolences to the family. May you find comfort in the wonderful hope God gives us for the near future. He promises a time when he will wipe out every tear from our eyes and death will be no more (Revelation 21:3,4; Isaiah 25:8).
