Obituary

Willard B. Tucker III, better known as "Brac", beloved husband of Colleen (O'Rourke) of Sanbornville, NH, passed away at his home on October 4, 2024.

Born in Melrose, MA and raised in Reading, MA, Brac was the son of the late Willard B. Tucker Jr. and Lura (Guptill) Tucker. A graduate from the University of New Hampshire, Brac began his career at the Gloucester Daily Times as a reporter and transitioned into the new digital publishing industry as a sales executive with Camex, Hastech, and Atex. He was the co-founder of Addirect, and then started his own software development company–Black Pike Software Services–in 2002.

Brac enjoyed hiking, waterskiing, boating, golf, playing cribbage, telling jokes in various accents, impersonating Inspector Clouseau, flying his drone and homemade rockets, and developing software programs. He could always be counted on to work his magic capturing many special moments through camera and video that we will treasure forever. His greatest pleasure was spending time on Lovell Lake and Ossipee Lake surrounded by his family and friends.

He is survived by his loving wife, Colleen, originally of Salem, MA with whom he shared 39 years of marriage; their dear children, Lauren Tucker of Sanbornville, NH; Lindsay Cahill and husband Jonathan of Dracut, MA; and Leanne D'Agostino, husband Joseph, and granddaughter Violet ("VV") of Medway, MA. He is also survived by his brother-in-law, John J. O'Rourke III and wife Karen; nephew John J. O'Rourke IV (Jake) and wife Nicole; niece/goddaughter Keri Powers, husband Jon, and grand nephew Sullivan (Sully); and niece Katie O'Rourke, along with many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends. He is also survived by his sister Diane Shepherd, husband John, and nephew Tucker.

Visitation for Brac will be on Thursday, October 10th from 1:00 to 2:00 pm, followed by a 2:00 pm memorial service, at Peaslee Funeral Home, 2079 Wakefield Rd., Sanbornville, NH. Interment immediately following at Lovell Lake Cemetery.
