Somewhere hidden are the lyrics of your Heart...
May you now sing them...

 You were my first California boyfriend.  I met you through Trina Morosoff. Then Greg and Chris and then Scott and Scott and Blit,  and the rest of the Sherman Oaks gang.   We had great fun at the Morosoff house.  Going to Nike base/fort, partying  on top of the world.   How none of us ever fell off is the miracle.  Then we had fun at the  Morosoff's SD  Beachhouse and going to Goonlight' beach.  Life was so fun!
  I'm sorry that cancer found you.    Cancer Sucks!  Please look for a beautiful three-year-old boy named Jake.  He was my nephew.  He hasn't been over the rainbow for very long, but he never got to experience the joys of his late teens and early 20s.  Regale him in the stories of yesteryear.  And tell him that we love him and will never forget him just like you.      Big love, big memories.  Peace out , Shaffer-lee!

Troy was a force to be reckoned with. I worked with him in the 90's and he was so vital. It's hard to imagine he's not with us anymore. RIP brother.. se you on the other side.  ❤

Life, like a dome of many colored glass
 Stains the white radiance of Eternity
 Until death tramples it to fragments.

Troy, it was a pleasure to see your many colors.
And a reminder to ALL that Life is fleeting!
So, shine as brightly and as beautifully as you can.....

Troy,
   We rode bikes and jumped off the roof into the pool as young boys, 50 years ago while growing up in Sherman Oaks! We worked together as young men and we were re-united as neighbors as we raised our growing families in Burbank.  Both of our first-born were only an incubator apart as we prayed for their survival at Cedar-Sinai Hospital!  We both suffered  the same cancer, which I thankfully survived and guiltily wonder why you didn't?  I'm greatly, deeply saddened that we no longer share this Earth! May we meet again, so I can see your beautiful smile and hear the laughter in your voice, just as we did over the decades!
Rest In Peace my Brother......

We love you, Troy... Our deepest sympathies to the family. Vicki & Mark xo
