My most sincere condolences to the entire Troester family.
I will always remember your dad as the silent partner in what were some of the most cherished times of all our lives. While Ma T doled out so much love to all us neighborhood kids as though we were hers too, Marvelous Marv, in his quiet way, always gave us free pass to his beautiful cottage on the lake. I will always remember him standing on the top of the hill with a hand on his hip, and a can of Old Style in the other hand. He would watch all us kids having the time of our lives, and I`m sure would take great joy in knowing he gave that to us. A completely unselfish man who will be missed, but never forgotten.

Sincerely, Jimbo
