Mr Troy had the most infectious laugh

Going to miss you Troy. We had some fun times back in the square dancing days. Many fun adventures traveling around the lower 48. Rest in Peace.

Troy has been mine and Jeff's neighbor for 25+ years. I always enjoyed visiting with him while he was out walking the dog (s), as well as after he lost them. It doesn't seem possiblel that he is now gone too. May his soul rest in eternal peace.

Thoughts and prayers for the family. We are very sorry for your loss of Troy.Margaret Jones and family

I am so sorry for your loss.

We always enjoyed Troy in Rutherford County Square Dancers. He was full of good humor and lively. It hurts me that he left us at such an early age. I send my sympathy to Todd and the rest of his family. (Juanita's mother attended Kittrell with my parents. She and her brother had a long, long walk to catch the school bus my father rode on Cripple Creek Road. They came from over the ridge toward Curlee. I remember when Olen first came to Kittrell in the 50s. He was a true ladies' man!)

We had so many memories and many adventures. 37 years we have remained friends and I will miss you my love. Rest in peace.

I first met Troy a long time ago when I joined the Rutherford County Square Dancers. We hit it off right away. You were always so fun to be hanging around with. You never too life too seriously and lived your days to the fullest. Our trio of you, Van S. and I had some good times in the RCSD. You played the part of the "jester" that was part of our English dances we performed. You mixed it up with the audience with such ease. And because we would attend separate high schools, we lost...

You will be missed old friend. We met back in the 70's and although we didn't hangout a lot, we were still friends. Your intelligence was vast and I think you could probably fix anything. Rest in Peace Troy Bell.
