James C. Tucker ’50

Jim died Aug. 31, 2012, in Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, after a fall at his home in Exeter, N.H.

He was born in Alabama, but migrated north to Phillips Exeter Academy, from which he graduated. He served in the Army from 1946 to 1947. At Princeton, he played JV lacrosse, belonged to Quadrangle, and graduated with honors in biology. His roommates were David Fulton ’49 and John Fairchild ’49.

Jim received a medical degree from Harvard Medical School in 1954. He remained in New England and served the community of Exeter as a physician for 41 years. He retired from active practice in 1998.

To his wife, Janet; their five children, Bob, Dave, Richard, Sarah, and Sam; and five grandchildren, we extend our sympathy.
