G. Tracy Cross

G. Tracy Cross of Barrington, IL and Sister Bay, WI passed away on May 29, 2026 at the age of 80.

Tracy was born to George and Violet Cross on July 7, 1945 in Atlanta, GA. Tracy grew up in Denver, CO and excelled in athletics. He was awarded a baseball scholarship to pitch at Santa Clara University and he recently summed up his career like this; "At Santa Clara University I ranked first in the number of walks allowed in a single season(1966), my ERA was the highest among all pitchers in the school's history. Most opponents truly looked forward to facing me as I was known for giving up at least one gopher ball every two or three games. From my stellar athletic career at SCU I turned out of necessity to academics." Tracy earned a B.S. degree in Economics from Santa Clara University and then a Master's degree in Regional & Urban Economics from UCLA.

He began his career in real estate with the Department of Housing and Urban Development in Washington D.C. He then moved to a firm in California and then Chicago which has been home for more than 50 years. In 1980 he branched out on his own founding Tracy Cross and Associates a real estate consulting and feasibility company focusing primarily in the residential sector. The firm became and still is nationally known as the "Homebuilders Crystal Ball".

Door County, WI held a special place in his heart and he spent many summers at his home in Sister Bay. An avid outdoorsman, he cherished time spent boating, fishing and hunting with his son and grandchildren. He loved all sports, especially golf and anything Purdue, his youngest child's alma mater.

Tracy was preceded in death by his parents. He is survived by his wife Mary, children Tim(Bobette) of Mequon, WI, Andy(Rachel) of Chicago, IL and Colin of Richardson, TX, grandchildren Ryann and Declan of Mequon, WI, and his many colleagues at Tracy Cross and Associates who were like family to him.

A private celebration of life will be held on the waters of Green Bay at one of his favorite fishing "honey holes" later this summer, where his famous beef stroganoff and Old Style might be on the menu.

Dale O. Williams

Dale Oliver Williams was born December 31, 1945, and passed away suddenly with his wife by his side on May 26, 2026, at the age of 80.

Born in Sturgeon Bay to Mercedes (Vertz) and Stanley Williams, Dale grew up in Baileys Harbor alongside his brothers, Bill and Ronald. Dale was previously married to Jeri Voeks, with whom he had one daughter, Lisa. He graduated from Gibraltar High School and began his career in construction with Joseph Parent Construction before cofounding Harbor Construction with his long-time business partner, Keith Bonville.

Dale worked tirelessly in his business up until his passing. His unmatched work ethic, meticulous attention to detail, and genuine respect for those around him earned him admiration throughout the community and among all who worked with him over the years. Dale spent his life in Baileys Harbor, the town he loved deeply and served faithfully. He raised his family there and dedicated countless hours to the community, including his service on both the Town and County Boards. One of his proudest contributions was helping build the softball field at the Baileys Harbor Rec Park with friends Dick Franke and Louie Oldenburg—a project that continues to bring joy to generations.

A man of many passions, Dale became a pilot in 1972 and found great joy in aviation. He loved boating with friends and spent many Sundays at Chambers Island. He was an avid golfer, sharing countless rounds with his favorite foursome and with his wife, Mary Anne. Sundays were also often spent at Lambeau Field, cheering on the Packers with dear friends Peter and Catherine Reddin.

Above all, Dale cherished his family. He shared 42 wonderful years of marriage with his wife, Mary Anne, and took immense pride in his role as a father and grandfather. He was devoted to his children—Lisa, Meghan, and Michael—and adored his grandchildren, who brought him endless joy.

Dale is survived by his wife, Mary Anne; his children, Lisa Jonas (David Prockish), Meghan (Michael) Daubner, and Michael (Hailey) Williams; his four granddaughters, Paige, Charlotte, Vivienne, and Aurora; and his great-grandson, Carter; step grandchildren, Remington, Kincaid and Danielle. As well as many cousins, nieces and nephews. He is preceded in death by his parents, Stanley and Mercedes Williams; his brothers, Bill (Carol) Williams and Ronald Williams; and his great-granddaughter, Baby Kesslie. Dale’s legacy as a businessman, a leader, a friend, a husband, a father, and a grandfather will be remembered for generations.

He will be greatly missed. The Williams family extends their heartfelt gratitude to all first responders, with special thanks to Mark Merrill and Kasey Oldenburg. Their professionalism, compassion, and dedication to families and the community are deeply appreciated.

We would also like to sincerely thank Bruce and Jill Alexander and their entire staff, as well as Tim Callahan & Badger Foods for their donations and assistance during this time.

Dale's life will be honored with a funeral service held at Immanuel Lutheran Church, 7973 Hwy 57, Baileys Harbor on Wednesday, June 3, 2026 at 11:00 a.m., with Pastor Gary Scharrig officiating.
