Troy was a wonderful influence to the youth in our area. He coached my ball fearing young son in baseball more than 20 years ago, never belittling him for his fear. Troy is remembered in my family as one who instilled confidence when it was most needed, and did so with patience and respect. Even though he only coached my son 1 or 2 years,he still asked about my son everytime I saw Troy in town. Troy loved talking about the pictures of athletes that he had taken. My condolences to the family.
