To the Peter J Troy Family

Peter was my supervisor in the Cook County State's Attorneys Office. He was a dedicated State's Attorney who stood up for his colleagues and the people who he supervised. I am saddened that Peter was not able to enjoy a long and healthy retirement and see the blessings and gifts of grandchildren. He was also a loving family man. He was a great boss and teacher. I am blessed that he was part of my career in the CCSAO. Our faith reminds us that we are reunited with our Lord and that he is also reunited with his wife of blessed memory Nadine Troy. His memory be eternal.
