Officer Tracey, I recognized you from watching your family on 4 episodes of Family Feud. You were such a fun over the top happy family regardless of the foolishness of the answer and winning or losing. I hope they can find that happiness again eventually.

A police officer should be remembered not by how he died but by how he lived! A brave man has left to secure a safe path for the rest of us to follow. Thank you for your law enforcement service, to your family, and to the Waltham Police Department. Our country is a little less safe without you. Rest in Peace Brother!

A sea of blue lines the streets..
.and hearts hang low as the drummer beats .
The day is sad and full of gloom as the Piper's play yet another funeral tune..
Our throats are tight, our eyes are wet...the coffin has yet to reach us…
I look at you Brother,you stare at me,I'm here for you as you're here for me…..
Yet another good cop has been taken away….
We say our goodbyes in our own special way…
We lay down a good man today…
Death walks with us on every beat…
It lurks nearby on every street..
Why was it him...and not you or me...we will ponder that for eternity…
This guy we lost was one of ours..his killing leaves yet another scar …
He was taken before his time..
Just because he walked the Thin Blue Line…
Here they come now...All in a row ..
The cycles lead...the blue lights glow !!
There are thousands here to say goodbye to a wonderful and special guy…
he paid the price and gave his all...on that dreadful.. costly..final call…
he lost his life in a terrible way... I pray dear Lord the killer pays…
We bury one of our own today..
Yet another good cop has been taken away…
We all say goodbye in our own special way….
As we lay down another good man today…..
REST IN PEACE MY BELOVED BROTHER .YOU ARE LOVED
A true American Hero...you are loved my brother

Rest in Peace my beloved brother..American Hero ,,

Officer Tracey,

It's always sad to hear of another law enforcement officer dying in the line of duty. Thank you so much for your service to the city of Waltham and its residents. In your 28 years of service, you have, no doubt, touched many lives. I will pray for your wife and children who will be carrying on in your absence. I will also pray for your friends, loved ones and colleagues. Rest in peace.
