Paul was a friend for many years. He was the best bass player but most of all a great guy. I was shocked to hear of his passing and wish Julia and the girls my deepest sympathy.

Paul & I worked together many years on the research vessels for the Department of Natural Resources. He was a very professional Boat Captain and he and I were very good friends. I will miss him.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the family during this time.

Gail and I, along with Aunt Betty, Steve, Brenda and Ricky were just together and talkng about you and Paul. I am so sorryfor your loss. Paul and I were the same age. I am particularly sorry now that we didn't keep in better touch. Sincerely, Terrie Willis(Beatrice's granddaughter)

I met and worked with Paul at Executive Expeditions in the 90's , we had some wild and wonderful times together. He was a true pro in his work and his music, so humble about his many talents . My thoughts and prayers go out to his family. Paul you will be missed.

We are deeply sorry to hear of Paul's death. Send our love to his precious daughters and all who loved him. A gifted musician and a kind gentleman gone to rest...May God's blessings heal their hearts and Happy Memories suffice...Jane and John Welch

We have many memories of Paul and David as children, who lived with their parents across the street from us, and were friends with our boys. Our sincere sympathy to the family. May God Bless you all.

A sad time for musicians here in the lowcountry. I couldn't count the number of times I sat right in front of Paul so I could listen to him play with John and Steve in The Jumper Cables. His power and presence on bass completed a trio that was a force to be heard, and pleasure to the ear of so many Charlestonians. The first time I saw the band was in a standing room only crowd on Market St. I simply couldn't believe what I was hearing, and I was hooked from that day. Paul's spirit and soul live well in my heart. I have fond memories. I wish him safe travels.

so sad to hear of Paul's untimely death. He was very loved and will be greatly missed.

Key, Angie and I extend our sympathies to you and Paul's family. May God hold you in His arms and give you peace.

"My prayers go out to the whole Tucker family. I grew up on the Isle of Palms and knew Paul briefly while he was in The Jumper Cables. A fine man; gone too soon. Sorry for your loss." Jimmy Bagley {Charleston, S.C.}

I'm in shock, just talked with him Saturday, I Love you Paul, I know one person who's gonna miss you, it's ME~~rest in piece my baby!!

Paul was the greatest bass player I ever saw. He will be missed.

My condolences to the family. The bible offers us great hope for the near future "Death will be no more"

To David and Paul's family; I didn't personally know Paul but learned of him from his mom. Ms. Gloria and myself were in the hospital together for a few days and enjoyed walking and talking. David we have certainly lost our share of love one's over the last few years. I will never forget your kindness to me by telling me the story about my George Tucker and the man he was at WRAFBase. My prayer's for you all.

When I was 15, Paul got an old Rambler station wagon and we had many great times roaming around Macon and Warner Robins. I hadn't seen him in years; I heard he was in Charleston, but never got around to looking him up. I wish I had.

You will be truly missed my friend!

My sympathies to Paul's family...I just learned of his death today and spoke with his brother to confirm that he was the Paul Tucker I remembered...tall, lanky, red haired with a devilish grin always on his face...although I lost contact with him over the years I remember him fondly especially around Macon's music scene...May the beat go on and the strings never break...

My prayers go out to Paul's family. He was truly a remarkable musician. I will always remember how he always had a huge smile on his face when he was on stage.He will truly be missed.

As a bass player, I was always a huge fan. He was very generous, & helpful to my growth as a musician. I'm gonna miss that smile...

I will really miss Paul. Being his brother's sister in law gave me the great pleasure of hearing Paul play with several bands and the pleasure of knowing Paul and his wonderful girls. I will miss you Paul.

Our sincere sympathy to David and Kay and the girls.I had the pleasure of playing guitar with Paul on various occasions.A incredible bass player and a great friend.Gonna miss you ,brother.Always!!

I worked with Paul on various vessels and he was always the ultimate professional to work with, and I considered him a friend.

I was very saddened to hear of Paul's passing - growing up together in Hillcrest Heights and playing music together all over middle Georgia as teenagers in the 60s were very fond memories. Countless hours of learning, practicing, and performing music with Paul was a lot of fun - ironically, when I heard of Paul's passing this morning I was listening to Beatles music, which Paul and I spent a lot of time listening to and playing.

My deepest condolences to Paul's familiy and especially his daughters. I have known Paul since the early 80's when he was a member of The Jumper Cables a legendary band here in Charleston, SC, and we became good friends, I will miss talking to Paul and his friendship and him ripping up his bass guitar...Rest in Peace Paul, you will be missed.

David and Key,
We were so sorry to hear of the loss of Paul. May God bless you and your family during this time of sorrow.

Elaine and Ricky Dorman

I am so sorry to hear that Captain Paul died. I spent many days with him on the R/V Anita and the R/V Silver Crescent. He was a good captain and a pleasure to work with. I never heard him play music, but enjoyed the stories that he told. My sincere condolences to his family.
