The funeral service, for Jim Tucker, (Owner/Driver of the PE Dragboat "Say When") took place today, June 25th 2009.
Jims death occurred, while racing this past weekend at the Creve Couer race in St Louis. He was driving at about 140 mph in a qualifying round of the event Saturday when his boat violently crashed.
Jim, an experienced, veteran drag boat racer, loved competing on the water. Although he was tight with the SDBA, he dreamed of the day he would win the IHBA World Finals which he did in November 2008.
Jim Tucker always took the time to talk with people. He was very approachable and always wore a genuine smile on his face and always had kind words to say.
Jim Tucker, was extremely well liked and will be truly missed by all.
Please keep his wife Yvonne and the entire Tucker family in your thoughts and prayers at this difficult time. |
