Dottie, I am sorry to read this. Haven't been in Clarksville in so many years and lost touch with those I grew up with but Tracy and your family were a big part of my family. Your dad and my dad were very close friends (Boone Bartlett). So sorry for your loss. Had many good times with Tracy in those days.

Dottie
Years have passed since we last spoke. I still take the Graphic and read of Tracy's. I am very sorry for your loss. Our parents were so fond of each other and I know Pam and your family welcomes Tracy to an eternal life of peace and happiness. May God hold you and your family in the Palm of his hands. If you have an occasion please send me an email to tell me about you and your family.

Dottie, Tracy was my best friend in High School. When I returned from my Navy tour I attended Hendrix and was there with Tracy for one semester. Through the years that I knew Tracy I learned how gentle, kind and helpful he was to everyone he met. My relationship with Tracy in our growing years meant everything to me. I will miss him.

Dottie: Tracy was a wonderful friend to me since Jr. High when we attended Shoal Creek Methodist Youth Camp together. We dated during high school and some during our freshman year of college. I attended SCA at the time he was in Hendrix. I saw him several times in his office in Clarksville. He would stop by and see me ever so often when I lived in Morrilton. I was raised in Scranton and he would drive around thru Caulksville-Paris to come on a date with me. Dottie he was an awesome friend to me. He was always such a gentleman and his politeness was outstanding. I only wish he hadn’t attended Hendrix because that is what changed my friend Tracy and his way of thinking and his beliefs. I am so very sorry that I couldn’t help him and be there closer to try to help him. My sincere sorrow and love for Tracy. Judy
