I’m saddened over the loss of Travis as he made a real contribution to life on life’s terms may he rest in peace
Oh, Bill and Ruth, I am sorry to hear about Travis. The quote from the obituary states,“he loved to make others laugh and feel welcome”, just like his grandfather BB always did. Sending love from all The Thackers
I have only known Travis for around 5 years, but it felt like I knew him my whole life. Ever since he bought his river house here on the New River I can say I looked forward to seeing him everytime. Great guy, great neighbor. A definite 1 of 1. Bill and Ruth, my wife and I are praying for you, my life has been better since knowing the Tracy family. I’m here if you need anything at all…Rest easy Trav
