Veteran Timer Polly Tucker Passes

[Len Ashburn]

Polly Tucker of Fernley, Nevada, a veteran volunteer timer at the Reno home pylon under three Chiefs, died of heart complications on February 13 according to information received from her son Dale, who is the Chief Flagman at Reno. Polly's voice is very familiar to all pilots. She was communicator on the radio when pilots called in for time until 2003 when she was sick and unable to report for duty full time.

She was preceded in death by her husband Ed Tucker, also a veteran at Reno.

Messages of condolence and other memories posted here will be forwarded to her only survivor, Dale.

Let's hear it for Polly.

Oh that is sad Len... I hope Dale is taking it OK... He lost his dad, his mom and his dog... He is truly alone now..

Do you happen to have Dale's email? If so, would you private message me and send it along, or email me via the board..

Dale, if you read this.. I know everyone is pulling for you buddy...

I hope this helps but I lost my dad in '93 and I'm convinced that they live on, in a far, FAR better place!

Sincere condolances to Dale and all who knew her.
