Uncle Tracy I will never forget the day when I received the call from one of your fellow officers informing me that you had passed, it was a call that I wish I had never received.
I I talk to you often telling you about how I'm doing and what's going in my life. I know that you would be proud of me as I am of you. I love all the memories that I have of you. You was like the best and fun uncle I remember you would play video games with us and teach us karate moves you thought you were Bruce Lee Lol, RIP Love you.
