Growing up Troy moved all around Oklahoma with his family before settling in Elk City. He met Sandra Loyd and they shared three children, Justin, Crystal and Cody. Many will remember Troy from the many years he was a cook at the Kettle before it's closing. He also worked at Flying W Guest Ranch, Home Cooking Cafe and most recently with his brother Nelson at the Carter Cafe. Troy was a simple man who loved the simple way of life and would help anyone no matter who you were or how tired he was. Troy was the perfect example of a dad, brother, and the absolute best Papaw. Troy will always be remembered as the man who was always there when you needed him. We often joked with him that he never knew what "no" was. And that is proven by his grand-daughters. He always did whatever they wanted. He never told Savannah no and even in the short time he had with Kennedy she learned that very quickly. Even though we won't be able to physically see Troy anymore, we know he is always with us and keeping an eye over us.
