Alyn and Kathy had two children, Jason Tuck and Jennifer Wollersheim. Alyn and Kathy have 5 grandchildren: Sydney Wollersheim, Megan Tuck, Lance Tuck, Ty Wollersheim, and Eugene Weitzel.

Alyn enjoyed his family coming over for barbecues (he loved cheeseburgers) and he had a bowl of ice cream every single evening before bedtime. Alyn enjoyed spending time with his grandchildren, he adored them and loved watching them play their sports. Alyn enjoyed watching old westerns, cop shows, and boxing, going to classic car shows, tinkering in his garage, camping, boating, and fishing. Alyn was liked by all! He had a way about him that made people feel they were instant friends. He always made people smile and often times belly laugh. His blue eyes, dimples, and smile were infectious.

He was preceded in death by both of his parents, his sisters Joyce, Waunell, Peggy, and Nyla as well as his brothers Neal and Billy. Alyn was survived by his wife Kathy, his two children and five grandchildren, and sisters Twyla Tuck, Bobbie Burris, and Judy Dierks, as well as numerous nieces and nephews and his very close friends John Mack and Bob Hunt.

Our family can’t thank Brookstone Memory Care’s staff and Willamette Vital Health enough, Janine and Jennifer provided amazing hospice care. If you would like to donate, please do so to one of the organizations that took such good care of Alyn.
