Riley and Levi, I hope you will remember Summer and I from State Center. I cannot express how sad I feel over the loss of your Dad. I was friend with both your Dad and (Jodi) when they were together. We all did a lot of country dancing and having fun. Your Dad completed remodeled a home for me and I am forever grateful to him and his craftsmanship. Troy was a great guy ( and one hell of a dancer). I know he loved his boys. I'm so very sorry for your families loss.
