John Robert Tracey, Jr, 91, passed away on Friday, January 1, 2021. A native of Brooklyn, NY, he was a resident of the Peninsula for over 60 years. John retired from the U.S. Air Force after 20 years. He worked at Binn’s Fashion Shop for over 14 years. His career included positions with Hickman’s Fashion Shop and he was a host for Rose and Womble at Finch Terrace in Coventry. He had a great love of people and loved to sit outside and wave to everyone driving by.  He enjoyed line dancing, fashion, music, gardening, painting, crafts and interior design.

He was preceded in death by his lovely wife of 45 years, Lillian Francis Hall Tracey and his sister, Dorothy Locke. John is survived by his daughter, Bonnie S. Tracey and son-in-law, John Moffatt; grandson, Donnie Greathouse and niece, Trudy G. White.  A big thank you to his care givers: Lana, Mindy, Pat, Jamaica, Vanessa, Chevelle, JaLeesa, Doniece, Legacy Hospice and Comfort Keepers.

Though my father will be deeply missed, we know he is in a far greater place and we look forward to the distant future when we are reunited. Love you Dad, rock on in heaven!
