It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Ross Tuck. Ross was a kind, considerate and generous man. His humour and entrepreneurial nature, combined with his rich character, gave him a full and prosperous life. The adventure started when he left Arkansas to join the USAF as a mechanic at the young age of 17. During his military career, his adventures included becoming a decorated fighter pilot, and enjoying the opportunity to live and explore many different places in the world.
After his retirement from the USAF, he moved to Victoria with his family and was a successful business man in the local development and restaurant market. He loved spending time to entertain and captivate his family and friends with stories, working around the house, and playing with his grandchildren.
He leaves behind his beloved wife Vicky, and children Ross and Johanna, and four grandchildren, Logan, Liam, Rowan, and Fraser. He will be greatly missed by his family and friends.
A gathering to remember and celebrate Ross will be held August 7, 2015 at the Deep Cove Chalet at 1 pm. We ask that you call and confirm your attendance with the Deep Cove Chalet. Condolences may be offered to the family below.

Please accept our condolences at Mr. Tuck’s passing. He was always such a delight to speak to when he called to request car service. Most of the time he was attending events to support the arts that we were also attending. His cheerful voice and demeanour will be missed greatly. May your memories of him always warm your hearts.
We shocked and saddened to learn of Ross’s tragic passing. Our condolences to you Vicky and the entire family.
Strength and courage at this difficult time !! Paul & Heidi
To paraphrase the Air Force song— He lived in Fame, but went down in—a fall!—and there went our chances for one more fly-by…a chance to re-live our favorite stories of life in Spain, of skiing at Whistler, of trans-continental Christening of God-daughter Johanna, of weddings/cavortings at Towner Park Rd., of long-distance medical consultations, of late-life grandparenting—Ross, THANKS for the Memories that can only be had via GREAT FRIENDSHIP!!! Fly high and straight to your well deserved heavenly landing pad—VFR all the way, baby!! Our Love to Vicky and the whole family, Jack & Carroll Haydon
Very Sad news indeed. Ross was a great man, a great business partner and most of all he had a big heart. He will be dearly missed by all.
My thoughts are with the entire family at this time.
Sad to hear the news of Ross’s passing . Although we’ve lost touch the last while I’ll always think fondly of the good times we had as partners in Milestones . He was the best partner you could have .
Rest in peace Ross !
