Mr. Herman Tucker will truly be missed by his friends in Miami. We all pray that his gentle spirit and kind soul will always be with us.



We also would like to thank Ms. Mazelle, who introduced us to Mr Tucker. Without her loving kindness, we would not have meet and experienced such a wonderful soul.



May Mr. Tucker rest in the house of the LORD!

My prayers are with you during your time of breavement. I am the widow of Jim Taylor, the photographer and friend of Hermans. I will always be grateful for his kindness towards us and appreciate the work he did on our taxes for years. It was always like a family reunion each time we met. God Bless and Keep You.

Hello. To family and friends of Tucker's, please accept my sympathy. I'm saddened about his death. I have lived long enough now to know that passing on is a part of our living and we are all forced to accept this. This doesn't take the grief away however. For those of you that were not able to attend his farewell celebration, it was a glorius one. One that was for sure fitting for Herman A.

Some of his friends: R. Eugene Pincham, Elder Paul Hall, William Hill,and his nephew, Lazarick Williams spoke so eloquently about his life and how he affected them. I'm sure that affect resonates to us all in the way we came to know and love Herman. I don't know her but, Barbara Wright-Pryor sang 3 solos for him and I'm telling you, they (she) were Powerful, Beautiful. So appropriate to him, a great salute. Pastor Mickarl Thomas, Sr gave the eulogy and he was magnificent. It was all about Herman and the life he lived. You should have been there. I think the entire celebration was to Herman A's liking. God bless you all.

I am deeply saddened by Herman's death. What I want to know is if the family would contact me and let me know. I knew Herman Tucker from my mother, Mamie Stewart who is a retired teacher and used to work with Herman. He watched out for her and me. Such a genuinely nice person.



I will miss him. Despite the surprise in all of this, I hope in the end, he died in his sleep with no pain or illness where he had a worry or a pain.
