The last time I saw Troy was several years ago in Medina and he was talking to me about his soups and his cooking. I was saddened to learn of his passing. We had lots of fun together during our years at JHS. I have only happy memories of him. Rest in Peace Troy and God Bless your memory. From a classmate, Jodi Dockter
