William Troy Sr.
9/16/2000
William Eugene Troy Sr. didn’t like to talk about his grisly war experiences, but his wife, Vicki, said she “dragged the stories out of him.”
He was a 17-year-old senior in high school when he enlisted in the U.S. Navy in 1942, shortly after the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. He survived several fierce battles with Japanese forces, whose torpedoes sank two destroyers Mr. Troy served on.
During one battle, shrapnel from a shell ripped through his buttocks. But he carried on. A surgeon who saw him standing there amid the smoke, explosions and chaos figured Mr. Troy was fit enough to commandeer for surgery duty.
Mr. Troy, wounded and standing ankle-deep in his shipmates’ blood, assisted the surgeon, who had set up emergency operations in the ship’s mess hall.
Mr. Troy could never forget the visions of that day - comrades horribly wounded - some with an arm shot off.
Before long, the ship went down, pulling some shipmates to a watery grave. Mr. Troy and others escaped and were soon picked up by rescue ships.
After the two occasions his ship was sunk, Mr. Troy spent time in the hospital and then jumped back to duty.
“The war and the time he spent in it was very vivid in his mind,” his wife said. “He lost a lot of shipmates.”
He told her he felt he had helped save the country.

He loved to sing all of his life. And he was a big fan of Frank Sinatra.
Although a stroke in 1990 took his ability to talk, Mr. Troy could still sing.
Once at a Valentine’s Day party at a rehabilitation center in Chico, Mr. Troy sang “You Are My Sunshine,” getting other patients who couldn’t talk to join with him.
“Bill’s life was people,” his wife said. When he met people, he asked them all about their lives. He would know their mother’s maiden name in five minutes, his wife joked.
Before his stroke, Mr. Troy’s daily routine was to get up in the morning and walk up and down his street saying hello to the neighbors.
Mr. Troy drove trucks around the western United States for 23 years. He married Vicki Gasaway on Aug. 14, 1970, in Alameda. They moved to Magalia in 1979.
