Troy always took the time to chat with the slower riders, so I had the pleasure of getting to know him even though I couldn’t keep up with him on the bike.  We talked about cats, funny things we saw and took pictures of while riding, and wildlife.  He emailed me videos of the wildlife in his backyard that he sometimes caught on camera.  It was by accident that I found out that whenever someone in our biking group was injured, Troy sent the person a gift and signed it from the whole group.  Kind, generous, smart, fun Troy.  I will miss him always.
