Sad news of Tracy.

[hider]

I have been told by a person who knew Tracy that she moved to Portugal, and has since died. I cannot get confirmation but have no reason to believe otherwise.

Are you referring to Tracy D arth ? She last posted in June, and no menton that I recall from her, that she was moving to Portugal.

Sad news, but not unexpected.

So who was Tracy? Somebody who knew a lot more about boats and engines than the average boater, somebody who worked in or ran a boatyard of some sort?

Very sad if proves to be true, and a great loss of one of the better by far, posters 😞

Sad news indeed, he will be a loss to the forum.

Rest in peace.

She said in a post that she only had a limited time left on earth, I didn't ask what it was but assumed cancer, a friend of Jayne and I did similar maybe for specialist treatment? It didn't work in her case either

I always assumed that it was a new name for some old hand or there was some forum history that I wasn't aware of (or cared about). 

 

I was amazed at the depth of knowledge and willingness to share. Agree sad loss. Sympathies to the family.

I always have assumed that Tracy was actually a man, and someone who I knew. I wrote to him and asked whether we knew each other and wheher they would reveal their identity, the reply indicated that we did know each other, but would rather not say who they were. This response was very much in the character of the person I thought was calling themselves Tracy. If I am correct, I know his son, so will be able to find out quite easily.

At one point (s)he mentioned a brain tumour. Very knowledgable, quite grumpy, a sad loss.
