Sad to hear that Arthur Troy had passed away. I enjoyed working with him when he was Thailand.

Sad to learn of Art's death. He was such a true gentleman and delight to know. Our golf days at Naples were special. God Bless.

Sorry to here about Arthur. In the early days of Northeastern myself, Frank Tempesta and Arthur were friends and studied together for tests. We had many laughs together. Arthur was a very bright man who was funny and a down to earth person. After he switched from mechanical to electrical engineering I didn't have much contact.

My deepest condolences to Art's family on the passing of Arthur. I was his Executive Assistant at Verizon in NYC when he returned from Tailand. I can truly say he was the nicest, funniest guy I have ever worked for and a friend as well. I am sure he will be missed. So sorry!

Sorry to read about Arthur. I was his secretary when he would come back to Boston on Fridays. We worked at 125 High St. Great man! So sorry for your loss.

Knowing Arthur from so far back I can not remember late 1950 something. Such a sweet guy. I would be typing papers for him when he went to Northeastern and not understand one word I was typing.
He looks just like his wonderful father in the picture. I am sure he was just as wonderful as his father who I loved so much. His house was my second home.
I thought Arthur would go on forever. He will in my memory.
He is a big part of my growing up days living next door to the Troy family.

We have lost a wonderful friend whose presence was always respected and will always be fondly remembered. The laughs are too many to enumerate. Suffice to say, times spent with Arthur always celebrated the joy of life and friendship.
Love to all the Troys - you are in our thoughts and prayers.
