Dear Clell,
So very sorry for your loss, which of course, is more than difficult for you and all of your family at this time. You and Troy and all of your family have been an inspiration to us through the years, starting with when I was first employed by the Teletype Corp. (AT&T). You were our lead Industial Engineer at the Teletype satellite location in the Hoerner Box facility. You were always a role model at work as well as away from work with your annual Santa Claus routine. Pat and I were just reminiscing of the times we interfaced with you and your family at your son's wedding and at your lake house, just as examples. Clell, you and your family are certainly in our thoughts and prayers!

I am so sorry for all of you. When Phillip and I married, and I moved to North Little Rock, they lived across the street from Phillip's parents on Goshen, so they were among the first people I met. It was such a blessing to know Troy Ann and the whole family, and I had the privilege of teaching Karen and Laurie later on. May God bless all of you during this hard time.
