What an utter and senseless occurrence. Tracy was such a terrific pilot ,I learned so much from flying with him although I loved making him laugh when flying more. Watching the laughter bubble up from inside was one of my favorite things to do. Please feel free to contact me for some wonderful stories about Tracy. My thoughts of him shall not fade.

Roxanne and Family, Since my family lives out of state I only got to meet Tracy a few times on family visits. So to me Tracy was a man of stories, friendship, and great times relayed to me by my brother Bob and his wife Debbie. Words always seem inadequate compared to the deep sorrow. We are praying for your family and offer our deepest sympathy.

We spent many January and April evenings in the Bahamas with Tracy. He was so curious, open, and fun. He was always smiling and always laughing. We feel lucky to have known him. He will be missed

Today is Tracy’s 59th birthday. He is the only father I have any memories of. We should not be going to the funeral home to celebrate the life you had. You should be here celebrating with us. Here is to all you were, are, and could have been. I love you Dad.

Having lived a half mile away when we were kids and knowing you since we were small children I always remember: Your sense of humor, willingness to always help others and just being a good person. I could fill pages with stories.

Our condolences to your wife, sisters and all of the family.
