Mike, my condolences to you and your family on the loss of your father. It is never easy losing a parent but 90 yrs. is a pretty good ride. His legacy as a member of the greatest generation I'm sure will always bring about fond memories.

To the entire Tracy Family

My prayers for all of you during these hours, days, weeks, months ahead are for strength. And, for wonderful memories of Mr. Tracy, as Johnny said "Coach". "Cupcake" those tremendous years you spent together will never leave you.

Be at peace, as he is. Look over your shoulder, he is there. You may not be able to hug him but you can always talk to him. He is there.

The sport's world has lost one its greatest champions. It is said that as one ages, one becomes less adaptable. I grew up in Chgo area and have remained a fan of Chgo teams. "The Coach", also from the greater Windy City, changed allegiances whenever he changed locals, and there were many changes of locations.

To me, he was always caring and encouraging, always "The Coach". Hopefully, he has found some "Real George" home teams in his new local.

All the Hussey's will miss him and, in his absence, will have to pick up their game. He was a legend.

Dear Nancy and Family,
You are all very much in our thoughts and prayers. Jim has fought the good fight, he has won the race and we still have to get there. We will miss the "coach". Dick and I have so many fond memories of good times with Jim and Nancy. The tailgate parties, the Thanksgiving Turkey Bowl, picnics at Lake Independence, the gourmet group, and reliving the Twins games. Too bad Jim didn't get a chance to see the Twins in their new stadium. I'm sure he is cheering in heaven. Love, Carol
