I am so saddened by hearing this news. My heartfelt love to Catherine and family. He was such a good Dad and husband. I worked with Frank for nearly 15 years trying to organise his life. Sometimes it worked but only because he let me think it did. To be honest he didn't need organising, he knew what needed to be done and I just helped him get on with it. He was the most sincere, kind and beautiful human being who would hate being complimented like this but he touched so many hearts. He taught me the importance of being old school with manners, grammar, patience and sincerity which I will forever remember him by. God bless and rest in peace. Sue and Rob King

Mr Francis Tuck will forever be in my heart of beautiful memories ..one of Earth's truly amazing humans.A pity the world hasn't got many like him.. it would be a beautiful place.
My sincere condolences to Catherine, his children his precious grandchildren and the whole family. I am truly sadden I couldn't be there to pay my respects in person..
I have so many funny memories of my antics whilst working under Mr Tucks loving guidance..I. must say I gave him some massive headaches during my time working at Diagnosticss..
From trying to steal his morning tea cake to hassling him every Friday after noon for some wine for me and the other nurses from his extensive stash in his office...lol.
Perhaps the big one was when I had to go to court for running over some cyclist! I didn't run him over ! He ran over my car ( diagnostic car). Of course the police were involved and took me to Court.. when I asked Mr Tuck to use the company lawyer..He firmly said 'NO'
too expensive..He told me 'I believe you can do it by yourself! ' Off I went and we won.!! Needless to say I got 3 bottles of the best wines from his stash in his office.. and a very happy Boss..
RIL my beautiful Mr Tuck .
See you somewhere over the Rainbow!!
Thinking of you all on this very sad occasion.
Lots of Hugs and much love always.

Dear Catherine and family, we are shocked to hear of Frank's passing and we offer our deepest sympathy at this sad time. Frank was always a great mentor to Albie [and Catherine a great help to Wendy] on joining Gibco in the early 80's and then on through the 90's

Dear Catherine and family, Our deepest sympathy at this very sad time
