Aunt Ella and Uncle Troy had a lot to do with my upbringing.
When I was little Angie and I spent nearly every weekend with them. So, it might be
difficult to tell a story about Uncle Troy without talking about Aunt Ella too but I will try.
Uncle Troy and Aunt Ella used to come pick up Angie and I to go to the Dairy Queen for a ten center ice cream cone nearly every week night during the summer. We would eat our ice cream cones, then we would all go see Willard at the Pepsi plant. It was so much fun to go see Willard. He washed the Pepsi trucks in the evenings. We got to run and play on all the Pepsi trucks while Uncle Troy talked to Willard.
Uncle Troy used to always tell me...Don't get married until you are 25 and I will buy you a Dairy Queen to run when you are older. I laugh now when I think of this. But I did what he told me. I didn't have a serious boyfriend until I was 25 because of what he said. He was a really special influence in my life and will always be missed.
I loved spending time with Aunt Ella and Uncle Troy growing up. We used to always go watch the Thanksgiving Day Parade at their house because they had a color TV and we did not. Uncle Troy would always let me pick a team when watching football. We would bet a quarter on the game. It was always fun....lots of love and good memories.
