    So sorry to hear of Troy’s passing. He was very special. We loved to hear his stories and saw the house he built and his massive garden he had. He so loved to fish and hunt. He was so proud of his children and grandchildren. He was a great companion to Harlan’s Aunt Betty Metcalf. She had great feelings toward him and his family. Many times she brought him with her to Iowa and we had a great time. He loved to pheasant hunt. We express our sympathy to his whole family and pray the Lord will give you peace. I let Aunt Dora know as that is where Troy and Betty would sometimes stay in Oskaloosa, Ia.
