Robert C. “Granddaddy” Tucker
July 5, 1931 ~ July 10, 2022 (age 91)
Our Hero pulled up his anchor on Sunday, July 10, 2022 at his residence, surrounded by his family. He was born Sunday, July 5, 1931, in Morgan County to John Welsey Tucker and Jettie Mae Lindley Tucker.
He was employed by Peek Olds- Cadillac, as an Auto-Body Repairman, prior to his retirement. Mr. Tucker was a proud Navy Veteran- serving in the Korean War and serving his country and was a long-time member of the Cedar Creek Freewill Baptist Church. He was a great husband, daddy, and granddaddy, a great storyteller and his family loved to hear those stories. He was a joke teller and prankster and always had a trick up his sleeve. If you ever met him you walked away with a piece of peppermint. He was loving to all and you never left his and Mama Lou’s home hungry and he always asked if he had anything you needed or could he do anything for you or to help you?
He is preceded in death by his loving wife: Louise “Mama Lou” Ledlow Tucker, his parents and sister: Mary Ann Key Ledlow.
