He was brave, honest, loving, and dedicated to his friends and family, and to doing what he loved to do the most, until the very end. Everyone is invited to join us in a day of good skating, good music, and good friends, to celebrate the life of the one-of-a-kind one-and-only Dave Tuck. Ann Arbor Skatepark is at the corner of N.
