Tracy made everyone feel like a friend! I will miss his enthusiasm and his laugh. I first met him in high school when he made a new student and fellow band nerd feel welcome. I also had the privilege of working with Tracy. He is gone way too soon.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

I was blessed to work with Tracy at Paaychex. As two single guys we had great conversations after work on Fridays. We also had some interesting advetures together as well. It seemed everyone in Lima knew you. You will truly be missed by many including me.

To my sister, Joan, to my nephew Sean, my nieces, Stephanie and Sara and to all the “Stars” of Tracy’s life, his nieces and nephews. Tracy left all of you from this earthly life far too soon but he is not to be forgotten. You can see him always in the twinkling stars of the sky telling his stories, doubled over with laughter, and squeezing you all in his bear hug. He will always be there for you.
Love to you all, our condolences.
