Joe called me yesterday and asked to me post about what is going on.

If you haven't heard, he has been diagnosed with Pancreatic cancer.

Talk about a rock. Guy survives his heart attack, then loses his wife, and now this? It's incredible to me how strong he is...I mean, can you imagine?

They have given him a pain blocker that he says is working well, though he has trouble eating. He had a port installed for chemo.

He is in incredibly good spirits, even though he admitted to me he's tired, he wants to finish the race shining the Light of the Lord to others. He's at peace and I'm proud of how he has handled ALL of this with so much grace.

Please pray for mercy if you would be so kind. He didn't ask me to start this thread so people could feel sorry for him, he asked me because he wanted you all to know that the headstone finally was set in place, he just wasn't up to doing it ( in hospital today), and I don't blame him.

I'd like to thank everyone who donated to this cause. Joe is a special guy a and all those bashes made more than good times, they made lifelong friends. I'll forever be grateful to have known him & Kathy.

Be good to those you love.

MOD EDIT: Here's a little more detail on Joe's new work:

The video he recorded that starts at about 44:30 is worth a watch if nothing else.

Damn, I'm going to the Bronco game and then going to Vegas for the Raiders game. Any chance we could do it for the first playoff game?

Well we don't even know for sure when that will be. But I'll come down for it too

Best post I've seen here in a long time. I know we don't interact much or at all but I get the warm and fuzzies seeing you post something.

**Nzoner** · 12-27-2022, 06:17 PM

This is from the new website,please if you feel led to do so make a small donation and God Bless.

L.O.S.S.

On December 8, 2021, Joe Tracy, the founder of L.O.S.S., experienced a pain like he had never experienced before after he lost his wife, Kathy. Joe and Kathy had just celebrated 36 years of marriage together. The following March would find Joe in a deep grief and in prayer to God to help lead him through this journey of
grief. Joe didn’t realize, in what Romans 8:28 promises: "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called
according to his purpose."

Joe was introduced to a local grief program, and he devoted his time to the class and the workbook that was provided. Later that summer, Joe got an idea to host a Widow and Widower picnic. Joe and Kathy had been blessed with a large piece of land with a large home and office building which was a perfect location. The picnic was a success and the dream God had given Joe to create a retreat for Widows and Widowers was born. These dreams included picnics, Holiday dinners, game nights, bonfires, Bible studies, and other events to host any Widow or Widower. Meanwhile, Joe has since been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and is on hospice. Thanks to his family and friends, who share his vision, L.O.S.S. is moving along at great speed. Your prayers and donations are much needed as the ministry grows. God willing, we can all see Joe’s vision of L.O.S.S. become a reality and help other Widow and Widower‘s along the lonely journey of adapting to being without their spouse.

Great picture. I'll be making a donation in honor of my dad. He just became a widower this year. It would be an honor to do so.

Loren went to watch the Donks, and I went up to watch the Faid game with him.

He's having trouble eating, so please say a prayer.

He also wanted me to mention that Kathy had a huge Jimmy Johnson collection, and if there were any Nascar fans interested, he would donate the money to the Ministry.

God bless, hope this finds you and Kip well.
