Tracy's obituary in Voices (Woodbury CT) says that: "His family asks those who ever sang with Tracy in a choir loft, at a table, or surrounding the pianist, or at an old upright, to sing a song for him today; those who heard him advocate for a town, a park, a walking path, a safer way for people to cross a busy street corner, or for the preservation of a heritage tree, to take up a civic cause in his memory; those who smiled at his use of a phrase he learned in German, French, Swedish, or Hungarian to find a new way to tell someone 'thank you' or 'that would be wonderful' and capture their smile for him."
