Obituary for Carl Lloyd Tucker
Carl was born in Nevada City California, the son of Hiram Bert Tucker and Gertrude Ione Tucker. He retired from the University of California Davis after 37 years, having made many contributions to the development of new and improved bean varieties. He is survived by his wife, Ellen, his three daughters Gail Butler, Sheila Bean and Jessica Tucker, and four grandchildren, Katie Butler, Sarah Bean, Natalie Butler, and Kelsey Bean. He is also survived by his good friend and former wife, Kathy Tucker. Carl was a man who did things at his own pace but did them well. Despite multiple medical issues, he maintained his good humor and dignity to the end. He will truly be missed and will remain forever in our hearts.
