Tracy was my tennis instructor for several years, and I held him in very high regard. Not only was he an excellent teacher, he became a friend. Tracy was so easy to talk to, and he had a wonderful sense of humor. I have a book that he gave me, and now I will treasure it even more. I am so very sorry to hear of the passing of this lovely man.
