Though I only new him for a year at EMCA I always enjoyed his help, his guidance, and his enthusiasm for life. I will be glad to see him one day. Charles Mathewson

DeeDee, I am so vey sorry to learn about the passing away of your father. He was a wonderful man - one in a million - and will be truthly missed. Now he is up in Heaven with Jesus and coaching many volleyball games for the Angels. Patty Castor (Maxine Cooper's daughter).

Dave Troupe Family,

What an incredible loss. Coach Troupe was such an inspiration to many. We'll never forget him.
