Rufus A. Tracy ’26

Pete Tracy died Feb. 1, 1995, at his home in Carmel Valley, Calif., after a long illness. He had lived in Carmel Valley for more than 20 years and was well known as a broker in the real-estate field and for his interest in community activities. Pete came to Princeton from Mercersburg and in college rowed crew and served as v.p. of Dial Lodge. After graduation Pete went west to Salt Lake City, where he worked in banking and real estate until he transferred his activities to California in 1944.

Pete married Mary Bevrstock in 1926. In 1943 he married Marietta McInture. Pete took pride in a family of seven children (six boys and one girl). He liked to note that it made life interesting having children with an age span such that when the oldest was a senior at Stanford, the youngest was entering grammar school. Pete also took pride in Princeton and was ever a loyal member of the class. He is survived by five sons (including David H. '57); a daughter, Elizabeth Tracy Van Popering; 18 grandchildren; and three great-grandchildren. To all we extend our sympathy.
