Howard “Bo” Tucker lost his struggle with cancer on May 2, 2010, and for an ex-marine and electrical engineer, losing is not part of any equation.
Bo began his life July 8, 1932 as the youngest of three children. He attended school in Oklahoma City, and after graduating from college at OSU he began his professional career in Richardson, TX.
Traveled, knowledgeable, and well versed in humorous anecdotes, he continued in sales until he retired. Bridge and cooking became his passions. Bo studied Bridge as if on assignment, attending classes, reading, bidding techniques, and varied his strategies to win the most hands. He replaced golf with cooking, reading cook books and discussing cooking as if it were an art.
He is survived by his wife of 57 years, Barbara; two children, Jan and Ben; sister, Billie Dean Poole of Oklahoma City; brother, L.F. Tucker of Denver, CO; and one grandchild, Matthew Tucker of Tulsa, OK.
A Memorial Service will be held Saturday, May 15, 2010 at 2:00 P.M. at Sparkman Funeral Home in Richardson, TX.
