Troy Hodges passed away at 1:30 this afternoon (Sunday, March 13). Cathy called me a little bit ago and she regretted that she could not get hold of everyone that had called and written her. I told her you would all understand. Troy was a good man and my good friend. I will miss him as I am sure those of you that knew him will as well. I will post the funeral arrangements on here as I get them as many of you will, I am sure, be attending. God bless him, I am glad he doesn't have to go thru that anymore.

The Kansas Wrestling community has lost a great man. Coach Troy Hodges was a great coach and an even better person. May the Lord Bless his family and friends during this time. I am sorry for your loss Randy and all those that knew and loved Troy.

My thoughts are with Troy and his family.


Are you making a POSITIVE difference in the life of kids?
