My father, Sgt. David Paul Tucci, was a veteran of the Vietnam War. United States Army. 5th Infantry. During his time there, he was exposed to Agent Orange, like so many others. When he finally returned home, he married my mother, and started the family that led to my existence. My siblings and I grew up with who we saw as our own personal “Rambo”. He was, and still is, the greatest man that we will ever know. Our hero.

Though he was always strong and able, and with superior work ethic, he eventually would succumb to the ailments that he lived with his entire adult life, from his exposure to Agent Orange. Gone too soon, at the young age of 74, his living spirit surrounds us everyday, in everything we do.

Dad, we love you and miss you dearly. Until that day….

“See ya at the house”.
