Troy took great pride in his military service. He was a veteran of the Vietnam war. He served in the United States Army from 1960 to 1967 where he received a National Defense Service Medal and a Sharpshooter Good Conduct Medal. He was based at Ft Knox where he was an Aircraft Mechanic when he first met his wife, Elizabeth Allard. Troy worked at Nashua Corp in NH after his military service ended.

Troy and his wife Liz served in various ministries over the years. Troy formally served in a local chapter as President of the Full Gospel Businessmen’s Fellowship, the Salvation Army as a Youth Pastor and is a Graduate of Real Men Ministries. Both have traveled extensively as evangelists in Portugal in Full Gospel Businessmen’s Fellowship International. Troy, Liz and their children traveled to Israel for The School of Ministry where he and his children were baptized in the Jordan River. They were part of a marriage seminar in Holland through Association of Christian Character Development as well as many other trainings in the US. For the last eight years they were participating in ministry at Pastor Dan Fontaine’s church, Hillcrest in Oxford MA, where he was ordained as a minister in 2017.

Troy has always been an evangelist at heart. His favorite words were, “What must you do to be saved?”.
