  18. My deepest condolences to the McHone family. Troy was a soft spoken and gentle man who was respected by all that served under his leadership. I feel honored and grateful to have known him.

You could always depend on Troy tying up all the loose ends at the end of the shift. There’s a special place in Heaven for those few like Troy McHone. God bless you Troy and the entire McHone family.
