Dear Old Dad – This is How I Remember My Pa

I’d like to take a few minutes to remember my dear old Dad, William Tucker. Twenty-seven years ago today, he passed away at the age of 86.  Because of a stroke he suffered a few years earlier, he spent quite a bit of time in a nursing home on Long Island. 

By the way, we called him Pa.

Earning a living…going from glamour to the factory. Pa was a midget auto racer during the 1930s and ’40s.
