It is with great sorrow that Watts announces the recent passing of long-time friend and employee, Bill Tracey. He was a tremendous father, friend and mentor. Tracey will always be remembered for his infectious smile, kindness, and willingness to help others.

Tracey was especially proud of his children and what they have accomplished so far in their young lives. He also loved spending time outdoors – camping, hiking, and rafting the white waters of the Grand Canyon with friends and family. Tracey was one of the most respected people in life and in business. Everyone at Watts has had the good fortune of calling him their friend and colleague. Tracey will be dearly missed.

Tracey’s family is in the process of planning a “Celebration of Life.” A vigil will be held in his honor from 6-8 p.m on March 7 at St. Paul’s Catholic Church, 330 W. Coral Gables Drive, Phoenix, Arizona 85023. On March 8, a memorial service will be held at 10 a.m. and will be followed by a reception.
