Tracy,
Your Tracy was a fine, fine young man who I admired tremendously. He was as honest as the day is long and he displayed grace and kindness in all circumstances.
The world needs more people like him.
Deepest Regards,

I am so sorry for your loss. I knew Tracy because he helped me with some plumbling problems I had. He took so much pride in his work and "went the extra mile", more than what was expected. He was a fine man. My prayers and thoughts are with all the family.

Tracy was our beloved nephew - a kind, gentle and loving man. We will remember most the instant smile and immediate twinkle in his eyes whenever he spoke of his four children, whom he loved so very much. He lives on now through each of them, and we know that he is watching over them from Heaven. Beloved son and nephew - adoring father - rest in peace, Tracy
All our love, Uncle Bob and Cissy
