Team Maine sends its heartfelt condolences to Troy’s family. He was doing good things with armwrestling promotion in Maine over the last few years, organizing and reffing several tournaments a year. An all-around great guy…he will be missed. I personally met Troy way back in March 1998 at my first ever armwrestling tournament in Farmington, where he was reffing. – Kurt Howgate
