Joseph T. Tracy

– November 20, 2021

Joseph Thomas Tracy “Joe,” 91, passed away Nov. 20, 2021, at home in Sun City Center, Fla., with his beloved wife of 49 years, Joanne (Daddona), holding his hand and his adoring daughter, JoAnn Muerdler, by his bedside. Joe is also survived by another loving daughter, Colleen Totten; grandsons, Joseph and Jeffrey Totten; devoted son-in-law (JoAnn’s husband), Robert Muerdler; and sister, Catherine Kaiser.
Joe was employed for 32 years by the former Bell of Pennsylvania and retired early in 1985 at the age of 55. He loved to travel, and he and his wife Joanne enjoyed numerous trips throughout Europe and South America. His real travel joy came from owning nine different motor homes when he and wife Joanne toured this great country. Joe enlisted in the United States Army and served from 1947 to 1953 and was proud to be a Korean War veteran, serving time on the front lines.
Services will be held at a later date. Memorial contributions may be made to Critter Adoption and Rescue Effort (C.A.RE), 1528 27th St. S.E., Ruskin, FL 33570, as Joe was an animal and dog lover.
