When someone of his calibre dies, it really does mark the end of an era, of some of the happiest times of our lives. To me, he was the manifestation of LIFE itself, in all it’s beauty and flaws. When I first met him, I knew he would play a huge part in determining the success of our year. To say he was the life of the party, is an understatement. With Tuck, he exuded a very special talent that few have: including exuberance, joy, irony, love and kindness … all the main ingredients of friendship/ or mateship!
