I am the person who has to go to the local morgue to sign up for the tommy funeral home obituary. The person I signed up for was a long time friend of mine and I am not sure why I still have a friend I have never met, or why I keep meeting people who I know but don’t know who they are.
People who sign up for obituaries online will get a notification when it is time to go to the funeral home. The process is slow and tedious, but I feel like I am somehow doing something I should not.
Yes, I am the same way too. I sign up for the funeral home obituary so that I can see what is written about my friend Troy Mullins. The person I signed up for is his former boss, a man whose name I don’t even know.
I have been working on creating a list of people I have worked with that I could possibly meet if I were to ever work there again. A few weeks ago I came across the obituary of Troy Mullins and have been slowly filling in the blanks in my mind. I have already written down my first guess at his name, the day he died, and the day he passed.
Troy was one of the first people I ever knew who got me interested in the world of computer programming. I remember him as well as any other person I knew, having a huge impact on my early career. Troy was also the first person I ever had to tell I was an alcoholic.
Troy’s story is similar to that of many of the people and other things I have read about in my life. I am reminded of the phrase “people who smoke are the ones who get cancer.” My friend who worked in a library in my high school years said something similar when I told her I had developed cancer from smoking.
Troy was a big part of a lot of my life and I miss him. I always found him to be a very calm and cool person, even when I was a kid. I was his biggest fan. I remember him telling me about a book he read called “The Story of Troy.” It was about a guy who got an idea and built a house for himself. But instead of a home for himself, Troy built a hospital. And when he died, no one cared about his house.
That got me thinking about all the people who lived in Troy’s house. Some of them were very successful people, like his wife and daughter. A lot of them were average people, like his little brother, and a few were just nobodies. The big question is, do we care about their stories? They are part of Troy’s story. We should care.
How about us? We are the only two people who know that Troy is the most successful man in this game. So, why do we care about him anyway? It’s a bit of a stretch because I think we already know about the stories of him, so we should care about what’s going on in the game.
Troy’s story is one of a few that’s been kept in the dark by the developers, but is one that has a significant amount of meaning for people. The reason we should care is because he was the one that built his company, and was the one who made it a success. The death of Troy has a lot of meaning for people because the company still exists and is still worth a lot of money.
