Although the general public may not be aware of the multiple talents of Troy Boone, he demonstrates them daily at Perry Wellness Center and Rudy’s Happy Patch Market. He is the proverbial man who “keeps the clocks running.”

“I like to keep things in repair and working properly,” Troy agrees. Pointing to an uncooperative display piece, he continues, “The corner leg of this hanging basket display rack must be ready for our spring market. I am going to check for rot and see if I can make it sturdy again.”

While many of us leave a trail of broken object in our wake, Troy leaves everything he touches just a little bit sturdier and shinier.
