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.

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!
