Tracie Ann Orsi

My beautiful friend, how time flies. You've got the Big Guy with you now Please keep him smiling

Hey Tracie, Its been a while. We met in the Outer Banks. You were a bartender and a budding writer. We were close and really had a wonderful time together. You had that cool MGB in black and would take me surfing and partying etc. All the NC boys loved you. I saw some of them in Mexico this week. They didnt know you had passed and were surprised to hear it. We will all miss you.You were special. Ciao

Tracie...you were certainly a bright light in this otherwise dim world. My hubby & me had our first date at Ragin nearly 20 years ago in August 1995. Yes, we ate garlic on our 1st date! ;-) You and your work have no doubt enriched the lives of many. I thank you and know that your spirit will forever live on at our fav eatery as you look down upon us from heaven. God rest your beautiful soul.

Tracie, you have left the earth, but not from our hearts. We ask you now, to help us take care of your family.

I have been a patron of Tracie's since she first opened rajin cajin doors on main st. In belmar. Loved her food from the start.

Tracie was my daughters favorite chef so much so that we would make sure we went every fat Tuesday and my...

Thank you Tracie for being such an important and loving person in my son's life. I will miss the awesome food, the great music and your radiant smile. Godspeed my friend.

Most people will share stories of Tracie and Ragin Cajun at the current location across from Shark River, but for me many happy memories were made when Tracie opened in a tiny store front in South Belmar in 1993; a stone's throw from the rickety old house on 16th Ave where my husband and I first put down permanent roots at the Shore. Ragin Cajun was starting out here and so were we. Our first time there was a bitterly cold winter night and the restaurant didn't have adequate heat, but we were...

My cousin and I have made the Rajin a regular meeting place for great food and music but mostly for the atmosphere. We could always feel the vitality and the love....and that was Tracie. We will all miss you dearly.
