Thomas 'Tucker' Sheen


In Memory of

Tucker Sheen

June 1961 - December 2002
 

 

NEVER FORGOTTEN

Job Done

Tucker has been a sad loss to the band.
He was committed 110% towards our success and future. Not only was he a great side drummer he was instrumental in bringing discipline and order to the drum corps. We will never be able to replace him. He was one of a kind. Rest in peace.

Sadly taken away from us doing what he loved best. Loving Husband to Rae, adoring father to Jim, Paula and Steven.
 


To all friends, family, neighbours and fellow Bandsman. I'm writing this message just to thank you for all your support and tributes made on behalf of my husband Tucker. Every message was heartfelt and much appreciated.

Yours Sincerely
Mrs Rae Sheen

 

May I take this opportunity on behalf of the band to thank everybody for their messages of condolence and for the turn out for Tuckers funeral.
A Special thank you goes to Craigneuk True Defenders for their members parading with us in full Regalia and also to all Bandsmen who turned up to see him off.
We were absolutely overwhelmed at the support at our time of sorrow and thank every one of you from the bottom of our hearts.

Tucker received the best send off I have ever seen. We wish he was still here. He will be truly missed by all.

Job Done mate. Play it loud and proud in Heaven.

The County Flute Band.

Personally from me - I'll miss you mate.
 



Tuckers Funeral was held on Saturday 21st December 2002 in the West Cross Funeral parlour. Below is the speech made by Neil McLaughlan on behalf of the band.

My first memories of Tucker were at School, Old Berryhill Primary, then from there onto Wishaw High, Where we met up with one or two menaces to say the least. But like most people here today, it was through Flute Bands that most will remember Tucker.

Tucker played in many bands, from Craigneuk Accordion Band, through into Craigneuk True Defenders, where he was a member for many years. Tucker was also involved in the start of a new Flute Band, to the Wishaw area – The Grenadiers, who like many other bands are present here today to pay their respects to Tucker.

Tucker was a great Bandsman. When he was having fitted wardrobes installed in his house, he spent most of the time telling the joiner to make sure that four side drums and a bass drum could fit on the shelf.

Tucker could also be a bit quick tempered at times when band business was the conversation and on many occasions Tucker would chuck the band on Thursday but would be first on the bus on Saturday demanding to know what size of a band we had on parade that day.

I remember Tucker played with Wishaw Flute Band. We were at a parade in Larbett. Tucker played the bass drum at the time and had just purchased a brand new set of sticks. Things were going well until a gentleman by the name of Krakers asked for a shot of Tuckers sticks, which were still in the bag brand new. Tucker being the man he was duly obliged. Two minutes into the tune – snap – brand new sticks broke. Tucker turned an angry red colour; Krakers ran that fast he got flashed by a speed camera.

My last memories of Tucker will be the many good times we had with The County Flute Band. Anywhere we went Tucker gave 110%, Belfast, Scarborough, all over the country, surely a great bandsman and an example to us all.

Tucker will be sorely missed by The County Flute Band and many many other bands. But the legend of Tucker Sheen will live for ever and ever.
Could I ask you now, just for a few moments, while I read a last message from the band, to think of Tucker and your best memories of him.



Feel no guilt in laughter
They know how much you care
Feel no sorrow in a smile
That they’re not here to share

You cannot grieve for ever
They would not want you to
They would hope that you would carry on
The way you used to do

So talk about the good times
The days you spent together
All the happiness you shared
And the ways you showed you cared

Let memories surround you
A word someone may say
Will suddenly recapture
A time, an hour, a day
That brings them back as clearly
As though they never went away.

This fills you with the feelings
That they are always near
And if you keep those moments
You will never be apart
And they will live forever
Locked safe within your heart.

Love – The County Flute Band.

Do you have any comments? To All Members of The County Flute Band. Gentlemen, On behalf of Tucker's Brothers, Sisters, And his Mother I would like to pass on our Thanks to the splendid turn out & send off that Tucker was given. He would have thoroughly enjoyed the turnout and the following that accompanied him to the cometary. To Neil: It must have been hard to write your address but 10 times harder to read it. Well done for your efforts, Tuck would have loved it. Having had him as a brother in law for 24 years and living so close to him for the last 15 years Andrew & Bobby looked on him as a brother instead of their uncle. He would arrive in our house requesting " Put the kettle on Eliza ". That will never happen again, but the kettle will always be ready. To you all our deepest thanks for all you have done to give our Tucker the greatest send off he could have ever had. This will live on in the hearts of many as one of the most touching services ever.

 We knew a lad they all called "Tuck"
we always thought he pushed his luck
when he wasn't around moaning or bumming
he'd be playing the flute, big or side drumming
From the C.T.D and the C.Y.D
he'd play the tunes for you and me.
Then on to Wishy then before you know
Tucker had helped start up number four
When the Grenadiers chucked it, he had a look
and that took him back to the heart of Craigneuk.
He said hang on here theirs something fishy,
theres a band needs me and their name is Wishy.
Well it was back to them and you know he was bounty,
when Wishy folded he Kicked "wi" The County.
All the bands uniforms were sky or royal,
ill bet you Tuckers joined The Heaven Loyal.
There wont be a day goes by where he wont be missed,
He helped us all I've gave you the list.
When any band out there needs a hand,
just think of "TUCKER"
and The Heaven Loyal Flute Band
