My sympathy to the Tuscher family. I was your dad's banker and met yet back in the early 80's. He was a good man with a great sense of humor. He will be greatly missed.
I entered this site to look for an address of a funeral home of someone I recently lost and found your father's name in here.
Best

My heartfelt sympathy to the Tuscher Family. I was deeply saddened to hear about the loss of Mr. Tuscher. I came to know Mr. Tusher about 14 years ago here at Northwestern Medical Faculty Foundation. He always greeted me with a hug and huge smile(that will remain with me forever). May God comfort and sustain you during this most difficult time. Belinda Rodgers

To the entire Tuscher and Hagy family, My deepest sympathy on your loss. Papa Gerry was a great man, and always had a welcoming hug for me, no matter what. In the short time I knew him, he was a respected and loved man, who cared deeply for his wife, children, and grandchildren. It is this legacy that will continue through all that he touched in life. To Michael, I know how hard this is for you, he was so proud of the young man you turned out to be, and just remmember how much he loved you.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all,
