He was determined and generous, loving and kind. He was a hard worker, a strong man, and often the one who most would call to answer any question or solve any problem. He was a friend to many and loved by all, especially those who were blessed to call him “Papa Troy”. His spirit and legacy will live on in the memories of those who were lucky enough to know him.
