From Joel Epstein: John was an outstanding performer and a great friend, coach and mentor not only to the people on his team, but also to me. He played a key role in the development and rollout of the jumbo mortgage product, which became the core business for PFS beginning in 1985.
From Ralph Montanaro: John hired me at Chase in 1985. We worked and traveled together for years. He was everything his obituary says and way more. He was quick, witty and a great storyteller. My condolences to the Tracy family on their loss.
From Holly Lovejoy: So very sorry to hear of John Tracy’s passing. He and John Gleason joined PFS at roughly the same time from other organizations. They were both real pros on our team of product managers as the PFS business got off the ground. John was diligent, experienced and committed to the business, but I’ll miss his mischievous sense of humor and camaraderie most.
Loving thoughts to his family who was most well loved by John.

From Ed Bratton: John embodied the “can do” PFS spirit, and his perpetual optimism and drive were infectious! My condolences to all the Tracy family. I’m thankful he suffers no more.
From George Renert: I worked with John in the 90s and found him to always be a gentleman. RIP John.
