One of Bill Tracy’s final projects — Whacky Shack at Joyland. He would pass away only four months later at the age of 58 from heart disease nearly 49 years ago on August 22, 1974. This newspaper snippet from the April 25, 1974 issue of The Wichita Beacon is the last known photo we have of him. Would have been cool to just chit chat with him over a beer.
