In Memory of Troy Mitchell, CSM3305
The Non-Tech Forum is closed for a day and will re-open tomorrow,
October 31 at 10:00 AM Pacific time. The purpose of the closure
is to give the ClearStar Membership a time for quietness and reflection
in the memory of ClearStar member As reported on ClearStar Thursday by Troy's friend and ClearStar member, Tom Gillingham..."Troy apparently went to make a key for a car at an apartment complex at 10:00 Wednesday morning, October 28/2009, where he was shot in the face as he sat in the 'customer's' car. He was then robbed." Troy lived 2 more days but died late last night. Troy leaves behind five children still living at home, two other sons and a loving wife.
----------------------------------------------------------------------- "Troy was an ALOA Member, IAIL Member,
TOOL Member, He was tragically shot in the eye by a group
of thugs while on a locksmith job. According to police he likely never
even knew it was coming. Troy leaves behind a wife and seven children
(five of which are still at home). No arrangements have been made yet.
As more information becomes available we will pass it along. Please keep
the Mitchell family in your prayers." From the Jackson Sun Newspaper... "Troy Mitchell is a retired 22-year Marine
combat veteran who served in several conflicts, including Bosnia and
Iraq. He was recognized for his service with a Purple Heart, a Bronze
Star and other citations." Even in his death Troy is serving others through the donation of his organs to transplant recipients. Let us remember Troy as we go about our work as Locksmiths and Safe-Techs. And let Troy's passing serve to remind us to be extra cautious and aware of our surroundings as we do. Anyone wishing to help out Troy's family may send cards and or
financial assistance to the address below. Thank you
