June 2, 2020 at 6:39 amI am sorry for your loss. I went to school with Troy also. Troy was the one who got me involved in Timberline (BSA Leadership training) which has been a huge influence on my life and my son’s life. I really appreciate Troy’s sense of humor. One memory of Troy is when he would poke a hole in the top of a pop can and shake it. The pressure would squirt in his mouth and sometimes all over. This made us all laugh. What a good man. Thanks for sharing the pictures.
