Troy, in his day, was a force to be reckoned with. Traditionally trained by the Bell System, he later migrated to GTE/Verizon/Frontier. He was knowledgeable, and one had to only watch, and see him work his magic, to understand how easy he made it look. In my early years, at Verizon, I learned a lot from him. He will be missed, but not forgotten. Godspeed Troy. My sympathies to the family, for their loss.
