David Tracy Obituary
David graduated from Waterford High School, Thames Valley with an associate degree in computer science and a bachelor's degree in business management from the University of Connecticut. He spent more than 50 years working in finance and information technologies, with the last 20 years working at Sound Community Services in New London.
Mr. Tracy is survived by his wife, Joan; son, Shawn Tracy (Cyndi); daughter, Heather (Rich) Vigneau; his grandchildren, Dwight, Nathan, Zack, Anndie; and great-grandchild Zackery; siblings; Joyce (Don) Huff, Allan (Cheryl) Tracy, Sandy (Vinny) Tursi; and many nieces and nephews. He is predeceased by his parents, Phoebe and Dwight Tracy.
His free time was spent passionately with his family, traveling with his wife and golfing with any available golf partner. He will be greatly missed by many friends and family. Whether on the golf course or crossing the street, David had the uncanny ability to engage unsuspecting strangers in conversation; he seemed to find a connection with anyone he met.
Services will be private and at the convenience of the family. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to [email protected] or [email protected].

Every encounter with Dave was filled with great conversation and positivity. He always offered kind words of encouragement and was a joy to be around. We will miss him at Sound Community Services.

Joan and family - I couldn't agree more with the comment that Dave had the ability to engage in conversations. I enjoyed his company and am so sorry for your loss.

Dave was a great man, who always talked at work about his love for his wife, and children. He was able to put a different perspective on many conversations, and I always left smiling after conversations with him. He would always update me on his ducks as well, another subject that made him smile. He will he missed.

Dave was a true example of someone who lived life with purpose. He was dedicated to his family, friends and work (and golf tee time) and he did it all with a smile. I have learned a lot from him and his outlook of life, he will be missed.
