Geeze, not sure where to even start. I’ve known Tracey for 22 years. I started at Bintz in 2004. I was just a dumb 20-year-old kid that went to drafting school but knew nothing about kitchens. Tracey welcomed me from day one. Some might say I was one of the lucky ones, but he was awesome to work with. He trained me every day. I knew nothing mattered even if it may have sounded like a dumb question I could always go to him and he knew the answer. He is the best in the business; people don’t work like he did anymore. He could just glance at something and give you the good and bad about it. Even though I started as a drafter, I moved into sales quickly which he helped me even more. As time went on this equipment business continued to be more stressful and miserable so even though we both knew complaining didn't help, we both always had our stupid story of the day to talk about, most days many stories, especially while eating our Costco hot dog or Mexican. We spent 1,000s of miles driving throughout Vernal and Manti over the years, we even hit a fun ATV ride up to Skyline during one of our trips. We even went to prison together to do a crazy remodel at Gunnison prison, haha!
I will miss him every day. I will miss the long chats, the hot dogs, the Mexican food, the laughs, the know-it-all resource, the workplace therapist and a true friend! So sad to him gone so soon especially just after starting his retirement which he worked so hard for and was so excited for.

Tracey, was a trusted consultant and honorable man in the restaurant supply business. He was organized and professional from top to bottom. When he retired from the industry his knowledge and expertise were immediately missed. He stood proudly alone as the industry standard that all other managers were measured against. He is a one of a kind man, who i was proud to collaborate and work with. I am sad to hear of his passing, and extend my deepest condolences to his family.

I only knew Tracey for a brief moment but I loved his fighting and strong attitude. I'm grateful I got the privilege of knowing him. 💙
I've known Tracey since the 4th grade, I can remember his first day attending Mrs. Horlocker class, he came with his parents, he had these big thick rim glasses on, he had a split in his front teeth, I knew then , this one one kid I wanted to punch in the the face, however I found out he moved in a few houses from ours, so the fear of me getting into trouble for beating up the new kid, was to close to home? I think my parents mentioned, have you met the new kid that just moved in, he's your age? I've seen him, however haven't met him, go introduce yourself, so I did he had just moved from Alaska, we became friends. we did everything together as childhood friends, marriage separated us, we grew up we had kids, however still found time to occasionally get together up until a few days before he passed away, almost every childhood memory had Tracey in we spent a lot of time together as kids, teenagers, we knew how to have fun. He didn't like what was happening to him, it just slowed him down kept him from doing what he enjoyed. I'll miss him, he's one of kind . We talked about life being fragile, that we should enjoy each day.
I worked with Tracey for almost 10 years. He never really said he liked me so I’m not sure if I could ever achieve that honor. I always admired his personality. No pulled punches. He was who he was and didn’t ever apologize for that. Many a road trip to a far off school for kitchen building. And lots of shared meals. I wish I could have learned more.

Even though he was my ex brother-in law, I’ll always remember being out at the Strawberry reservoir before sunrise coffee in one hand, fishing rod in the other. We were like kids about who was going to catch the most, but Tracey taught me a lot about what I didn’t know about fishing or hunting and camping.
I always look forward to the mornings when Tracey and my father -in law Dee would come pick me up for the deer hunt, because I knew I was in for a good time. Tracey knew all the good hunting and fishing places and knew the mountains well, he taught me to gut my first deer/how to fly fish/hunt pheasant, he was generous with that knowledge. He had real respect for the outdoors and for doing things right. Grateful for the times we shared. Sending love to all of you! Bud Badgett
