Dear Family of Tracy, I had only worked over the phone with Tracy for the last few months and had just spoke with him before I left for my trip a few weeks ago. I returned today and was notified of his sudden passing. I am truly and deeply saddened by his loss. He was a very nice person to work with and it is such a tragedy for his family. May God bless you all and give you the strength to continue without him on this journey.

I recently heard of Tracy's passing and not only was I shocked but saddened. Living out of state, I hadn't seen Tracy in many many years but, was always updated on all my old friends thru my sister, who still lives in Park city. When I think of Tracy it always brings a warmness...there wasn't a day that went by in school that we didn't sit together on the bus. We only ever had laughs. Those years weren't easy years for me but, Tracy made me smile and laugh every day, even if it was only for a little while. For that I thank you Tracy! I'll always remember you with a smile.
