Eulogy delivered by the Rev. Theodore M. Hesburgh, C.S.C., President, University of Notre Dame, at a Memorial Mass for Richard Tucker, St. Patrick's Cathedral, New York City, October 14, 1975, 1975/1014

"On behalf of His Eminence, Terence Cardinal Cooke, who is offering this Memorial Mass, and especially on behalf of the family of Richard Tucker, his dear wife, Sara, and his sons, Barry, David, and Henry, I welcome all of you, his friends, to this memorial service in the great Cathedral of Saint Patrick, in the great City in which Richard was born, grew up, performed as few others have, so well and so long and so thrillingly, and where so sadly last January he was laid to rest after a heartrending service at the Met in Lincoln Center."
