Clotilde and the rest of a wonderful family: Your father was an incredible doctor and friend for 26 years. We will miss him and his compassion. We especially enjoyed his "adventures" after his retirement. With love ....

Dr Tracy's Children & Family,
Wanted to attend his funeral but must settle for a condolence note. Ed was a mentor and advocate of mine and always was willing to "take call" for me if I was out of town. He was a great Dr and freind. I still have patients that say almost daily, "Dr Tracy always did this or that when I saw him!" I am honored to have known him and continue to be influenced by him through his loyal patients and family. Thank you Ed!
Love, Harold Nicolette DO

Dear Tracy Family,
I was so sorry to hear of your father's passing. He was a great doctor and true friend to so many on James Island. I enjoyed my many years of working with him in his James Island office. He will be truly missed.
Sincerely,

Too much to say...a remarkable human being and mentor. The world clearly was a better place having had him. Much love and sympathy to the whole family.

"Chick" has been missing him.
