  Dear Erma Jean and Family -

I and St. Joseph Hospital were priveleged to have served Tom, you and the family during all the years that you have used our hospital. But, especially, in Tom's last months and days.

I have many memories of Tom, but the strongest one is the first time I met him when he came to a meeting with Dr. Tyson Cobb, Charlie Kovac and me with check in hand. He said he didn't want to go through all the formalities (he probably used a different word) of being asked to make a gift to the hospital. He just handed us a very generous check. And then he had lots and lots of questions. Charlie Kovac and I took him on a tour of the hospital. He wanted to know about everything and ducked his head into all kinds of doors and closets, wanting to know what was going on there.

In the years I have gotten to know him since, I realize that in the first meeting, I met the real Tom Tracy -- curious, unconventional, interested in everything. And, most of all, generous. He and the family have been extremely generous to the hospital and for that we will always be grateful. He honored many physicians by making gifts in their honor. A very meaningful gift.

And, I will never forget the dedication of the new Urology Center, last October, when he was able to get there from his hospital bed -- thanks to Dr. Khonsari and the dedication of the Tracy family. He was so pleased to be a part of that and to stand from his wheelchair to cut the ribbon.

St. Joseph Hospital and many others have lost a great and generous friend. He is in God's hands now, entertaining the heavens.

God bless you all.

  Dear Uncle Tom,
I remember the shoot we whet on back in the old country. We had a good morning on the shoot, and then came the ceremonial toast.

Uncle Tom was hosting the shoot, so it was his job to supply the spirits. As always he wanted to have a little fun with everyone, so he served them up some grain alcohol. If you could have seen how proper these stuffed shirts were when they had their shots you would have got the joke. The poor dignataries were trying to hold back the tears & be as polite as can be.

Thanks for the laughs Uncle Tom & God Bless

  To the Tracy family:
I have very much enjoyed learning about the Tracy family from a dear friend, their oldest daughter Cindi. My thoughts and prayers extend to you all in the mourning of your father. May God Bless you all with the strength to continue on as if he were still right by your side, in many ways he still is.

God Bless you all,

  My many thoughts and prayers go out to your family. I hope that these days are filled with tears of laughter and sorrow, stories of old and new, and hours with family and love. It is yours to carry on your father's/husband's legacy. When it becomes difficult to bear the weight of the saddness just remember to keep the faith and fight the good fight and his legacy will be the example that guides you through those tough times.

All the best,

Christian

  I only met Tom once. It was on a Gpd cruise to Alaska. Though I have done business with his company since the very early seventies. Once you meet Tom you never forget him. I remember on the cruise how he seemed to enjoy life, enjoy the moment. I watch him shoot skeet off of the back of the cruise ship and I don't recall him missing a shot. Thanks for creating Tracy Industries! Jim Imes Parts Manager
