I worked with Troy at the USGS. He was always pleasant, and would drop by my office now and then to chat. I liked him very much, and am so sorry to hear that he is gone. May God bless and comfort y'all. If I had known about his service in time, I would certainly have been there.

Troy was a wonderful person; always quick with a smile and a joke. I only wish I had had more time to get to know him better. My heart goes out to you and your family. Please let me know if I can do anything for you.

I feel fortunate that I was able to share some great times with Troy. I always looked forward to anytime we spent together because he was clever and always ready with a sarcastic remark. Thank you for sharing some of your short time here with me. Troy, you had a smile that could not help but spread to anyone in your presences.
Kendal, thank you for sharing such a wonderful man with me and my family. We are all blessed to have known him.
Love you!

Troy, wish we had more time with you and for no real reason, other than my experience, "only the good die young"

Troy was a wonderful person. Even though we fought constantly, I still consider him my dad. I love him more than he'll ever know, and I wish I could have told him. I miss him more and more every day. I know I have a guardian looking over me now, and I know I'll always be safe. I love you, Troy.
