My prayers are with you Jr/(Manny), Carol, Cheryl, Rhonda as they are with Troys Mom, Step Dad and sister Colleen. I just learned of Troys passing. I caught sight of the cross on 1-95 and had the feeling. It was Jr and Carol's Troy.
I am soo very sorry for everyone's sadness and especially for his children and grandchild. I wish I had learned sooner but please accept my deepest heartfelt sympathies. My prayers are with everyone whom loved Troy.....
