Born at Ste. Rose du Lac on 6 October 1917, son of Marie Archambault (1888-1971) and Basil Travers Tucker (1885-1962), his early education was at Ste. Rose du Lac School and Valpoy School. As a young man, he took an agricultural course at the St. Norbert Monastery. In 1944, he married Gertrude Desrochers (1923-2019) and they raised two children on a mixed-grain and livestock farm north of Ste. Rose du Lac. He served as councillor for 27 years in the Rural Municipality of Ste. Rose and sat on the first board of the Ste. Rose Regional Library when it began in 1962 in the basement of the Maison Dollard House. In 1979, he and his wife retired from farming and moved to Petersfield where they lived for 20 years before moving to Selkirk. He died there on 25 May 2004 and was buried in the Glen Eden Memorial Gardens.
