Better times. Before we lost the glue that held the family together.

Tracey was my uncle, but even more than that, he was my friend. The first time I can remember really feeling like I belonged was when I was about 12 & Tracey took an interest in knowing his niece and from then on out, hanging out with my uncle for his crazy stories, outrageous jokes, and a pull of whiskey were the moments I lived for. So much of who I am is because of who he was and what he meant to me.

I was long time friends with Bill and Leta and knew Tracey from about age one. He was such a cute baby and little boy and loved life. My prayers are with Tracey's family.
