Thomas J. Tucker

Mr. Thomas J. Tucker, 64, passed away on Sunday, August 28, 2022. He was the son of Richard C. Tucker, Sr. and Dorothy S. Tucker. He is survived by his loving sister Judith A. Ledbetter and her husband Gary, his best friend Larry Brown and wife Cheryl, close friends Frankie White and Rick Burke and wife Pam, cousins Sherry Sheckles and husband Bill and Bonnie Wine and husband Denny.

He was a member of the Sons of AMVETS Post 2, John R. Webb VFW Post 3285 Auxiliary, and Owls Club 4002, all in Frederick, MD.

As a youth Tom enjoyed swimming at the Frederick YMCA, playing baseball, and he also played the trumpet during some of his school years. Later he played softball at Pine Cliff Park. His greatest enjoyment came from taking his brother-in-law Gary’s 1961 Pontiac Ventura to cruise-ins and shows. He had a closet full of trophies from those days, the best being the first-in-class award from the Pontiac Oakland Club International (POCI) national meet in Gettysburg, PA, in 2019. For a time, he and brother Dick went to car shows together, Dick showing his 1967 Chevelle SS.

Tom attended Frederick High School and graduated in 1975. He was employed at several different places during his working life but spent the bulk of his career working for the U.S. Postal Service prior to retirement.

The family will receive friends from 2 to 4 P.M. on Monday, September 5, 2022, at the Keeney & Basford P.A. Funeral Home, 106 East Church Street, Frederick. Services will be held at the funeral home at 10 A.M. on Tuesday, September 6, 2022. Interment will follow at Mount Olivet Cemetery. Condolences may be shared at www.keeneybasford.com.
