This is really sad......first thing I heard about it.

Tracy was a very special person and will be missed by many.

Though we never got to meet, we talked several times about getting together on the Feather for stripers. Tracy was always complimentary and enjoyed my stories here on the board. I wish I could have met him. Too young to go.

Sorry to see this, Tracy was always a hell of a nice guy. Way too young.

This is really unexpected. I met Tracy only a couple of times several years ago and came away with the impression that he was a great family guy (always seemed to have Ben and his dog with him). Never mentioned a word about his health. Very sad. RIP Tracy....

Tracey and I never worked in the same fire department, but he was a wonderful person--full of life, and loved to fish. At one time he wrote a column for the Fish Sniffer. His nickname at the Roseville Fire Department was, "Mr Trout". The rest of us had less flattering nicknames.

This is sad and shocking news.
