Jack,
I was so sorry to hear that your dad had passed on. I think he may have been the only person I ever met that it was impossible to be unhappy around. I know he always made me smile and usually laugh out loud too. I hope some of his magic shows in his grandchildren - in their laughs, smiles or just the way they do something the same way he did. Those will be the little ways he visits you.

My thoughts and good memories are with you.

Jack & Ashley ,

I know Im not there to say I'm sorry but I truly am. I will always remember your father as "Big Jack" and it will not be the same without seeing him drive down the street or waiving in the car or off the front porch to me. I am so very sorry for the loss of your father and he will be deeply missed by all of us.

Dad, Im sorry that it took me a little bit to write this, yet i didnt know how to put my love for you and the loss of you into words. You were the closet thing to a parent that i have ever known. It may not have been by blood but you were my father. I really dont know how life will ever be the same without you. Everything that Jack, the kids, and myself did in some involved you. You are a very big part of us. Its the little things i miss and will never be the same. Who is going to pluck my eyebrows now? You are one of the most amazing, interesting people that i have ever known and im so proud to say you are my father. Dad i know you are watching over us, yet i miss you with everything inside of me. I love you Dad.. always.

My dad, Jack Allen Troutman Sr. has had a very interesting life, doing stuff that most of us dont have the guts to do. Getting an honest answer from him was to be expected, even if what he had to say was embarssing or even somewhat hurtful. He always called it as he saw it. In a world where people lie or sugar coat everything, his honesty was refreshing. More then anything else, i have to say what an amazing dad he was. Growing up many of my friends wished he was their dad, which to me means he had to be doing something right. I was also lucky enough to be able to call my dad one of my best friends. We had each others backs through every thing and trust me when i saw we went through A LOT together. There will be a piece of me missing forever, with him gone. But I promise he will never EVER be forgotten, and i will try my hardest to use everything he has taught me to be a better person. I can only hope someday i have the same relationship with my kids that my dad and I had. Dad i love you, and I miss you more then you will ever know. Please look over me, my wife and kids and keep us together and safe. Good bye dad.
