Eleven Years have gone by now since we last spoke as I held your hand and you left this world. Much has happened since then as I try to post an update each year. Im about to be a GreatGrandparent this year by both of our grandchildren. . Susan now confined to nursing home since November of last year after a fall. Times have been tough on me as we must pay for her housing there. Your family is getting along fine and by now Richie is up in heaven with you. Myself Im trying to hang around as long as I can so I can visit your resting place again in August on my trip to see your family and enjoy some ole times and recollections. Till we meet again I remember you always.

Robin 8 years ago today you left this world to one of no more suffering. Things are really not the same when I visit your kids in Chicago, just can't really have an old family re-union like the good ole days. Not able to play golf anymore, but still do some bowling. I hope to be up to visit your resting place and sit on the bench and think of our times together. Till we meet again on the other side.

June 21, 2015

Well Buddy another year has gone bye us, seven of them now, and on this Fathers day, we know your two daughters miss you. Myself am getting along in years. I trust in the Lord as you did so we will be united once again. Rest in peace my friend.

ROBIN

R Remember Him. He gave his name to his second daughter, and even had the luck to get her on his birthday, so every year Robin-Ellen has a birthday we can remember her Dad. Not only did he leave us another day to remember but he chose his wifes sisters Eileen's birthday to leave us.

O Occupation of Robin was a printer, by trade, but first in his life he was a Husband to Madeline. Also a Father of two daughters, Grandfather of Three and Four Great Grandchildren. Never did get to his lucky number of Five other than he was the Patriach of the orginal Troyer family, for a short time now leaving two sisters and two brothers.

B Best Buddy, I ever had, and I must admit a Better Bowler, than I, This is supported by his being selected to bowl against two former bowling pros, Lou Campi and Graz Castilano, back in Patchogue in the mid 50's at Maggio's

I Incredible, In that he chose me of all the Individuals he knew, to be Godfather of his first child Pam. Interests he had were golfing, bowling, investments and gardening, raising tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers. He really could put up a delicious mixture of all of these by prserving them.

N Now that he has left us to be with his parents, who I also called Mom and Dad, his brothers Ray and George and recently departed sister Lila, we will all remember him as a friend to many as shown by all present today.


Today it is Six Long Sorrowful years you left us, and I figured now your GreatGrandchildren are old enough to appreciate to know how much of a person you were. So I put this up for them to see.
