To the Robert Troost Family, I've been friends with the Troost guys for over fifty years. It was Bob's prompting that got me to attend Western New Mexico Univ. After my wife died, in terms of life, marriage, or simply having had a friend, Dr. Suess said it well:"Don't cry
because it's over, smile because it happened."

I only worked for Bob part time for a short time and met him a few times. He struck me as a down to earth person. I send my condolensces and know he will not be forgotten. The key to immorality is living a life worth remembering and I am sure he did.

Please let me extend my condolences over your loss. I was a kid the last time I saw Bob and the rest of the Troosts. It's been 55 years since we moved away from the neighborhood and the house my parents built around the corner at Highview and Montclair. Of all the great kids in the neighborhood, the Fosters, Youngs, the older guys, the Healys, Trongeaus and the Troosts. Bob was a true leader and without doubt the funniest kid I ever knew. I know how wonderful he has been with the family business. Why not! He was the best! Our thoughts are with all of you I knew best, Pete, Romane, Frank, and everyone else in the family.

Dorothy, Our thoughts are with you and your family at this difficult time. Donna and I think of you and your wonderful family often. I will miss my tennis games with Bob and the wonderful hikes we did at Red Rock Canyon and Mt. Charleston. I would also be remiss for not mentioning his excellent boating skills on the Colorado River below Hoover Dam, Love Donna and Larry
