Laurence William Tracy Sr.     SACO -- Laurence William Tracy Sr. was born at his home in Saco, June 27, 1923, the son of Willie Emerson Tracy and Mildred May Huntress. He attended Saco schools, and in 1943 he married Ilma (Emmie) Nelson Wormwood.      In 1953 he began a 20 year career at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard as a welder, and later a Leadman in this country's construction of nuclear subs. After employment at the Maine Yankee Power Project at Wiscasset, he worked as a welding supervisor for Stone and Webster Corp. of Connecticut. There he participated in the construction of both the nuclear power plant at Haddam's Neck, East Haddam and at Millstone in Niantic, retiring in 1985.      An avid participant in all Masonic bodies, Mr. Tracy was raised to the sublime degree of a Master Mason at Old Orchard Beach Lodge #215. As an eight- time Worthy Patron of Aurora Chapter # 190, Order of the Eastern Star, Kennebunkport, he traveled extensively throughout the district assisting in installation, lectures and impeccable ritual, earning him many honorary memberships. For his beloved Eastern Star, he and his wife, Joyce, prepared a great number of benefit suppers.     While in Connecticut, Mr. Tracy joined the Valley of Norwich Scottish Rite Bodies and the Sphinx Temple of Newington, Conn., as a Shriner, he was extremely proud of holding duel membership with both Sphinx and Kora Temple of Lewiston.
