Not sure what to say?

T.T. was one of my favorite people in this world. I will always remember him for his positive attitude. I have been through alot of struggles in my life, and I could always count on T.T. for his positive outlook. He would always make me smile. He loved his jazz music, I will always remember he would love to have me listen to it and talk about it later. I will truly miss his smiling face. We both loved animals so very much, that was just one quality that made him so special. I will always keep...

Lu Ross, and the Trotter family:

I feel fortunate to have met Mr. Trotter, and I will miss him very much. People like Mr Trotter are few and far between. He was, indeed, very, very special: always calm, content and in control, enjoying life, while enriching the lives of those around him.

Dear Lou and Family,
I will never forget the first time I met Mr. Trotter at Lou's house with his beloved John Boy. I knew then that I would one day have a yellow lab of my own. Here it is 8 years later and I have my precious yellow lab, Sam.
I enjoyed the few times I visited him to help with his vision problems. He was a joy, always optimistic, kind and gentle. I know he was special to all who knew him.
Sincerely,

After our pause to listen, he would excitedly exclaim, "Don't you just...

Johnny, Jenks, Scotty and Family,
Our thoughts and prayers go out to you at this time.
"T.T." was such a wonderful person and we are so blessed to have had him as a part of our family for so many years.
We will miss him but smile when we think of all the stories he told us.
We will always appreciate the solid advice he always gave us.
With Love,
Mike, Kim, Justin and Payton Hall
