He attended college in Boston for some time, and returned to Ogdensburg. He worked for Mater Dei College, the Bridge & Port authority, and most recently at the Ogdensburg International Airport.

Mr. Truax enjoyed spending time on the St. Lawrence River when he was younger with his family, snowmobiling, sports, and was a fan of the New York Yankees, The New York Giants, and Syracuse University Basketball. He truly loved spending time with his family, especially at family events, and was an animal lover with a kind heart and a sense of humor.
