John A. "Jack" Tracy, Jr., 86, of Swarthmore died November 11, 2013 at Sterling Nursing and Rehabilitation Center. Born in Media, PA, son of the late John A. and Ann Dougherty Tracy, Jack lived in Middletown Township prior to moving to his late residence in 1995.

Jack attended Nativity B.V.M. School and was a graduate of Media High School, class of 1945. He was a U.S. Army Veteran serving during World War II, receiving the World War II Victory Medal and the Army of Occupation Medal. Jack was very patriotic and fittingly died on Veteran's Day. After being discharged from the Army in 1947, Jack went to work with a Media-based photographer, Roger Russell, who specialized in portraits. In 1948, Mr. Russell went into the retail business. Jack eventually became a partner and then the sole owner until the store's closing in 2002 after 54 years.
