He was born in Moultrie, Georgia on June 12, 1929. Anyone who ever met him appreciated his eloquence and humor. For those whose lives he touched, they knew him as a man of faith and family. His strong ethical values he taught by example. He graduated from Georgia Tech with a degree in Civil Engineering after which, he served in the Army's Corp of Engineers. He had the privilege of serving our country in France during the post war reconstruction. Through this he found a love for traveling in Europe, which he added to his interests in reading, music and nature. As a family we have many special memories and will continue to cherish the stories he told of his life's adventures. For 32 years he worked for J.A. Jones Construction Company from which he retired in 1993 as Vice President/Construction Manager. His work allowed us as a family to live in many places from California to Virginia. He never lost his fascination and appreciation for commercial construction and architecture. During his retirement he became active in church through Bible study and serving as a Stephens Minister. Traveling continued to be a priority and pleasure. He was also involved with The Military Order of the World Wars. He is survived by his wife of 45 years, Gudrun Tucker; son, Karsten Tucker and wife Bel; daughter, Brenna Metz and husband Alex; daughter, Rebecca Glace and husband Chuck; and nine grandchildren.
