Today would have been your 55th birthday. I wish you were still here to help me guide our children, though both adults, require the guidance and love of both of their parents right now. I don't know what to say or do to make the wrongs right, and I wish I could say "call your dad", but I can't. I hope you have a great birthday - finally free of all that tormented you. You are so sadly missed!

I can't say I knew Tracy very well personally, but very well through his mother,my best friend. She was justly proud of him and his brothers. I have always been impressed by her son's manners and respect for her friends. Rest in peace Tracy and know that your Mom;s friends are here for her during this trying time.

Riding in the Car with Tracy
As I'm fighting back the tears, where do I begin......I begin in Olean NY in a candy apple red Dodge Charger - manual transmission. The first time I met Tracy. He was to give me a ride home as per Betsy's instructions since he was picking her up from work. Upon being introduced, Betsy said, "Tracy, this is Pearl; Pearl, this is Tracy." I said, "Hi." He never said a word, forcefully thrust the car into gear, and took off like a shot from a cannon. All the while I'm saying to myself, "That's okay I can walk, I like to walk." That was 27 (yes I said 27) years ago. And if I had let that introduction stop me, I would had missed out on the pleasure of knowing one of the most straightforward, most openly honest and most deeply caring person I have ever met. (You see Tracy was blessed to have a personality that didn't fit just one category and if you were lucky enough to know him, you had to take him as he was.) Well, following the initial meeting in the car, I "rode with Tracy" for the next nearly 27 years. During that time, I'll never forget calling his house collect, (before cellphones) never expecting him to answer and certainly not to accept the charges...only to be shocked almost beyond redemption when I heard, "Collect call from Pearl, will you accept the charges?" and Tracy's answer, "Yes.".....Forgive me a moment as I wipe away some tears.....The last time I saw Tracy, I went to NC. He lived on Beverly Drive and betsy in a small apartment in town. She had to work so entertaining me was secondary since she wouldn't get paid. But Tracy took the time, came and picked me up at the apartment and off we went to spend fun-filled, old friends day together and off I went, riding in the car with Tracy - what a pleasure! He took me to a goldmine and in downtown Charlotte, we dined and walked and talked. These memories and too many to begin to mention will last with me until my time to meet up with Tracy and ride in the car with him once again. To his family, many thanks for sharing. To Tracy, ride on my friend, ride on.

Tracy: I never really got to know you as a father-in-law. i hate to see that you've passed so soon. it hurts me so bad to know that Hailey won't get to know her grandpa in person. But i promise with all my heart that she will know you in her heart. i will try my best to show her pictures of you every day. And i'm sure chris will tell her all kinds of stories about the times he spent with you. I know the only time i ever really seen you smile was when you set your eyes upon that precious granddaughter of yours. i really don't know what to say except I love you very much along with chris Hailey and betsy and of course the rest of the Ahlgren family and all your friends. we will all miss you very much and we all love you with all our hearts. you will always be remembered. I made a poem for you in rememberance of you. i love you and you will always be in my heart!!!
Rest in peace. You were a great man. Now it's time to rest in your bed. We all have memories so special and true. And with all our hearts, we'll always love you. In a better place where you feel no more pain. You can breathe and run, your now a new man. To have you in our lives was the greatest gift there was. Now let ......the Lord embrace you with his all mighty Love. ~Tiffany Brooke Ahlgren~

Used to play pool with Tracy at the Grapevine Restaurant one East Second St, Jamestown. My wife and I knew him when his forst child was born and when he worked for Quality Markets. We have lost touch over the years, but he will be sadly missed.

Rest in Peace Tracy. What great times we had the old Foote Avenue Quality.We used to call him the "diceman" because of the stories he would tell us in the back stockroom while he puffed on a cigarette. I am surprised the place didnt burn down when he would leave a lit cigarette burning on a cardboard box when he got called up front. I have 2 memories that will always bring a smile to my face when I think about him. The 1st is when he left one of his cigs out back, we thought it would be cute to sprinkle some of the ashes into his coffee. BIG Mistake! He came back into the back room and noticed it right away and threw the cup full of coffee into the freezer and said "clean it up!". Guess who was working the freezer that day? The 2nd memory was going to the Bel-View after work for drinks. Hell. I dont even know if I was 21 yet. But anyway we always had shots of Black Velvet, We called it "BV at the BV" which I still use that phrase to this day. One night after the BV we were being followed by the police down Hebner st toward Kinney st. He took a right up English and a quick left onto some paper street and quickly shut the headlights off. We sat there until the police drove by and didnt see us. I had a feeling he has used that trick once or twice. RIP Diceman, gone too soon

Wow..where do I begin? I was 16 years old when I first met Tracy. We both worked at Quality Markets. He flirted with me for several years, and we started dating in 1980. We were married in July of 1982. Through many trials and tribulations, we managed to raise our two boys, and Tracy's daughter from his first marriage. We shared the best of times, and also the worst of times. Shortly after our 20th wedding anniversary we separated, and eventually divorced. I loved him, but our relationship as husband and wife had become to caustic. Over the last year, after years of bitterness due to the divorce, we had the opportunity to become friends again. I have to say that I have never met a better man. Despite his gruffness he had such a heart of gold. If only he shared it more...I have not only lost my ex-husband, the father of my children, but one of the best friends I've ever had. I'm scared and worried how I am to become the only parent, and there is no one in this world that could walk in Tracy's steps. I never saw such a great look of love in his eyes, and on his face when he first laid eyes on his grand daughter Hailey. She is the reason he's managed to deal with his illnesses for as long as he did. Unfortunately, God called him too early. At least he had his wish to pass in his sleep without pain. For years he said that he didn't want a fuss when he was gone. Instead, those that knew Mr. T were to cast their drink into the air and toast to the T Man one last time. Our wedding announcements stated that today was the day that I was marrying my friend. No one told me it would be so hard to say goodbye to a great guy. Tracy, you will be missed, and always loved. I look forward to sharing your life with our grand daughter when she is old enough. Goodbye my friend. Look down on us.
