TUCKER, CHARLES HAYWARD
Sept. 13, 1920 – Jan 1, 2004
On Thursday, Jan.1, 2004, Charles Hayward Tucker, husband of
Jeanne Vogelaere, passed away at his home, 276 steense Dijk, Oostende, Belgium.
He was in his 84th year. Born in Ship Cove/Cape Onion, Newfoundland,
he was the oldest son of Thomas Tucker and Eliza Edison. He leaves to mourn wife
Jeanne Vogelaere; daughters Marie Rose Tucker (Jean-Marie Vandamme) and Rose
Marie Tucker (Jean Buxin); grandchildren Suzy Mommerency (Patrick Willemarck)
and Sylviane De Cloedt and great-granddaughter Stefanie (Sandy) Willemarck; sisters
Alice Edison and Delilah (Selby Tucker). He was predeceased by his father Thomas
Tucker, mother Eliza, brothers Ross and Francis. The funeral service was held
on Wednesday, Jan. 7, 2004 in Saint Annakerke in Oostende (Stenedorp) followed
at the family tomb in the municipal cemetery on Stuiver Street . Charles, heeding
the call for King and country, followed in the steps of his father who fought
in World War I, and at the age of 20 he joined the Newfoundland section of the
British Navy and shipped overseas. It was the navy that took him onto the continent,
into Belgium and to the doorstep of the girl he was to marry. On 26 June 1946
he married Jeanne Madeleine Vogelaere in Westkerke, Belgium. After his discharge
in 1946, Charles, for reasons known only to him, decided to remain in Europe.
However, shipping out of the navy didn't mean casting lines from the sea. He
was soon back into fishing boats - they took him to corners of the world,
bringing home catches from waters off Iceland, Greenland, Russia, Canada, United
States and other countries. Then there was a seven-year stint “down with
the little black boys” as engineer on a fishing boat in the Congo . After
returning from the Congo, he was chief engineer on a 264-ft gasoline tanker
that travelled up and down the Rhine River. After the war in Europe it was
to be twenty-seven years before Charles would visit his kinfolk back in Newfoundland.
In 1970, just after the roads finally connected the small outport of Ship Cove/Cape
Onion to the rest of the world, Charles made a visit home. Subsequent visits
were made in 1980, 1988 and 1991. In silence he sailed away but he will live
with us forever The gulls by the coast came to greet him Not a word was said
He felt only that he was welcome And that he was at home It was a big day for
him And a morning he could No more remember.
