Richard Tracey Obituary

Lt. Col. Richard M. TRACEY Reserve Retired Air Force January 14, 1922 to March 16, 2002 Evaddee July 7th 1944. We remember how brave and courageous you were through your life. On July 7, 1944 as the navigator of the lead plane returning to England your plane was shot down. Bailing out, you landed in Holland and were lucky to be found by the Dutch underground. You were with them nearly 6 months when you were found and liberated and able to return home. We were married shortly after which lasted 57 wonderful years.You went on to receive your engineering degree and ultimately opened your own very successful business now called Olympic & Associates. You were a kind and honest man with so very many accomplishments including work on the Kennedy Center and the design of the training facility at Bangor. "We love you Dick and we miss you so". Dorothy Marilyn, Richard Jr., Ann, Joe and Elizabeth.
