What a legacy left behind - with some of the smartest kids I know spread around the US to make a big difference in their own communities. My condolences to all.

I loved spending time with Mr. Troksa as it was always a fun and lively event! In more recent years I was advised to keep the sports talk more sedate so as to not get him wound up too much...but I think he did his share of winding also...and loved every minute! I considered him and Mrs. Troksa true role models as well as friends. They truly raised some very fine kids who are also great friends of ours. He will be greatly missed and hopefully is up there with my dad talking about his kids over a cold gimlet. Our heartfelt prayers and condolences to the entire family as we will miss him too.
