Harley Dean Tucker
1928 - Oct. 20, 2009
Harley Dean Tucker, 81, went to be with the Lord on Oct. 20 in Las Vegas, NV., after being transferred there from his home of 18 years in Kingman, AZ.
He served 22 years in the US Navy. He was a real estate agent for approximately six or seven years in Turlock. He was a member of the Turlock Kiwanis for many years.
Harley was a very honorable, kind, loving and strong man. He was the best husband, father and grandfather anyone could ever ask for. He suffered a major stroke in 1981 but did not let that break his spirit.

He is also survived by his grandchildren Cari Hensley, Sean Streeter, Krissi Marez, Jennifer Tucker, Joe Tucker, Tim Davis, Brandon Davis and Cody Davis; 10 great-grandchildren and three great-great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his daughter Laurie Davis.

For My Dad by your daughter Patti
My Dad was a person
who was loving and kind.
And often he knew
what I had on my mind.
He was someone who listened
suggests and defends.
My Dad was one
of my very best friends!
He was proud of my triumphs,
but when things went wrong
My Dad was patient,
helpful and strong.
In all that you do,
a Dad’s love plays a part.
There’s always a place for him
deep in your heart!
And each year that passes,
I'm even more glad,
More grateful and proud,
just to call him my Dad.
Thank you Dad,
for listening and caring,
For giving and sharing.
But, especially, for just being you!
I Love you and will miss you everyday
