I didn't know Tracy as well as everyone, but what I knew was that he was an expert house-sider. He truly had a gift. He did however like to take off early from a job in the afternoon to go fishing. Which was fine with us. He would work his heart out until fishing time. And when the job was done...it was perfection. We also enjoyed the conversations with Tracy during that time. Peace be with Tracy and peace be with the loved ones he left behind.

Rest in peace little brother. He was a pain in the butt to me when I was a teen, but someone I found interesting as an adult. He loved spending time with his friends and his wife Lena. I'm relieved that his struggles are over. Thanks for going with us girls on that trip to Florida, the memories will last us a lifetime. Love you!
