I did not know Mr. Troute, but his niece Marie Beasley, is a dear friend of mine and she talked of him often. I can tell just by what she spoke of him that he was a wonderful man. May he Rest in Peace and have Eternal Life Forever.

Uncle Norris I will miss you so much. I've learned a lot from you these past few years and the type of man that my Grandparents were so proud of. I'll miss getting the update on the races and the views you had on life. I will always remember sitting with you on the front porch at Papa's house. The smell of a pipe or cigar will always make me think of you. You and Aunt Francis always made the family reunions at the river very special. I'll treasure our conversations this last week and love you so much.
