It would really be nice if the guys at Boyne Thunder would come up with an award of some kind named after Tracy.

So sad! Could not believe it when I got the text from Paul on Monday. Meet Wrink I think 15 - 16 ish years ago at the ramp next to Irish. Great person. I was never real close to Tracy, but always had great laughs every time we would run into him at Boyne. We always looked forward to seeing him. I remember like yesterday watching the wedding on there boat. Going to be missed dearly, our thoughts go out to Connie.

RIP Punk

A special man who set examples of not just being a better boater, but a better human.

Fly high- you’ve earned those Angel wings.

For Tracey and Connie Nemecek, a 47-foot Nor-Tech was the perfect wedding venue. Really great remembrance by Paul Rose, https://www.speedonthewater.com/trac...-boating-ages/

I just heard about this last night, I met ol Wrink quite a few times in Charlevoix at his favorite bars/restauraunts, and at some of the early boyne thunders where I was a safety crew boat. I especially remember his old voice mail transfer thing " please enjoy the folowing music while waiting for message" and REO would come on before his message as he was insane about REO, RIP buddy!

They do the stereo wars thing every year, Tracy was always loud and entertaining.

Tracy Nemeck Stereo Wars Memorial Trophy

It was a tuff day yesterday. Pete did a nice job with the service. Every time a put the anchor down I will be looking for the McDonald’s Boat to be pulling up. It is going to be very strange not having Doc T at the raft ups in Horton Bay. RIP T.

T was the nucleolus of so many friendships in the boating community. I've met so many good people through him.
Gonna miss those calls from "Restricted"
It's his fault that I have a new roof, windows, siding and extended car warrantee :D
Fly high my friend. See ya when I see ya

He was one of a kind, always called on your birthday or when you least expected it! He was so entertaining at the Poker Run, he was part of the reason we attending the Run. He will be missed for sure.

Lost a friend RIP
 
I spoke to him on a regular basis and he confided some very personal things going on in his life.I will miss being called OLD TIMER and me calling him NEMESIS.

Was looking through some old Boyne Thunder trip photos and found this one I took while I was relaxing with a beer at the Boyne City Taproom. RIP, Tracy.

Good Boy Vodka will sponsor it this year. Rob is making a traveling trophy. Now I just need some of the boats at the main dock to help me out Friday night and put on a good show.

Sad to hear of his passing :(

Marginmn 05-27-2022 05:07 PM

Nice sentiments Rob. Sorry to hear of such a good guy passing. RIP.

We had a awesome dedication to Doc T Friday at the docks. Very strange not hearing his voice there. But we got to listen to some REO!! Great job by all my boats that participated.
