Comfort is knowing that those who have lived in our hearts are never really gone.
As long as we keep them with us, in our hearts and our thoughts, they will be with us always.
It was truly a pleasure knowing Tony Tucker, known to us as "Tony Tony T" , he will be missed by the Denbigh Crew

To Tony's Family,
It was with deep regret to hear of Tony's passing. He was like a son to me because of the close relationship he and my son Greg "Bam Bam" Banks had during school as well as after. I will keep you in my prayers during this difficult time.

EVEN THOUGH TONY WAS ONLY 3 1/2 YEARS MY SENIOR. I LOOKED UP TO TONY T AS A POSITIVE ROLE MODEL THROUGHOUT MY EARLY TEENAGE YEARS. I TOO MOVED TO THE VIRGINIA FROM BROOKLYN, NY (1982). NEWPORT NEWS WAS VERY SLOW AT THE TIME BUT WITH TONY AROUND. I WASNT AS HOMESICK. TONY WAS THE EPITOME OF A B-BOY. TONY WAS HIP HOP. HE WAS LIKE A PIECE OF BROOKLYN HERE IN VA. HE SUPPORTED AND ENCOURAGED MY ARTISTIC TALENTS IN EVERY WAY. I REMEMBER ALWAYS TRYING TO IMPRESS HIM WITH MY ART WORK AND IF HE NEEDED A FLYER FOR A TALENT SHOW OR ANYTHING SKETCHED UP.I WOULDN'T HESITATE TO DO IT. TONY WAS MULTI-TALENTED. HE SEEMED TO DO EVERYTHING. HE CARRIED HIMSELF IN A VERY MATURE MANNER... ALWAYS SEEMED AT PEACE. HE WAS A VERY UINQUE BROTHER. HE WILL MISSED BY MANY BUT... TONY T, YOU WILL TRUELY BE MISSED BY ME...
ONE LOVE
