Troy will truly be missed. It will never be the same without him. He was like family to us. He always visited us when we were in Asheville and never failed to visit Mother, Josie Young, at Elderberry. He was always there just to sit around and talk, go to Five Points a favorite place to eat, or if a task needed to be done at my Mother and Stepfather’s place. He was the first to offer advice and didn’t mind getting his hands dirty to help get the task at hand completed. You could always count on Troy. He was a very Special Person and will never be forgotten. Lucy, Ken, Brian Baker and Josie Young
