Note that articles on Wikipedia must be written from a neutral point of view and must be verifiable in published third-party sources; consider whether, copyright issues aside, your text is appropriate for inclusion in Wikipedia.
You can demonstrate that this text is in the public domain or is already under a license suitable for Wikipedia. Click "Show" to see how.
Otherwise, you may rewrite this page without copyright-infringing material. Click "Show" to read where and how.
Your rewrite should be placed on this page, where it will be available for an administrator or clerk to review it at the end of the listing period. Follow this link to create the temporary subpage.
Simply modifying copyrighted text is not sufficient to avoid copyright infringement—if the original copyright violation cannot be cleanly removed or the article reverted to a prior version, it is best to write the article from scratch. (See Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing.)
For license compliance, any content used from the original article must be properly attributed; if you use content from the original, please leave a note at the top of your rewrite saying as much. You may duplicate non-infringing text that you had contributed yourself.
It is always a good idea, if rewriting, to identify the point where the copyrighted content was imported to Wikipedia and to check to make sure that the contributor did not add content imported from other sources. When closing investigations, clerks and administrators may find other copyright problems than the one identified. If this material is in the proposed rewrite and cannot be easily removed, the rewrite may not be usable.
Posting copyrighted material without the express permission of the copyright holder is considered copyright infringement, which is both illegal and against Wikipedia policy.
If you have express permission, this must be verified either by explicit release at the source or by e-mail or letter to the Wikimedia Foundation. See Wikipedia:Declaration of consent for all enquiries.
Policy requires that we block those who repeatedly post copyrighted material without express permission.

Ralph Talbot Troy,Sr. (February 4,1935 – January 26,2014),[1] was a mortgage banker[2] who served as the mayor of Monroe,the seat of Ouachita Parish and the largest city in northeastern Louisiana. His mayoral service from 1972 to 1976 was sandwiched between the fourth and fifth terms of his fellow Democrat,W. L. "Jack" Howard.
In the spring of 1972,Troy unseated Jack Howard in the then closed Democratic primary election. The highlight of the Troy administration was the expansion in 1973 of State Farm Insurance to make Monroe the mid-south regional headquarters of the company.[1] Mayor Troy pushed for an urban renewal initiative that provided new and improved streets and sidewalks. As mayor,he worked to improve the fire and police communication systems in regard to surveillance,patrol,and emergency services.[3]
Monroe faced financial problems in both the Howard and Troy administrations. In 1975,the municipality,then under the previous city commission government,paid its bills by transferring money to a separate account while awaiting the arrival of revenues. By the end of 1976,Monroe was making payments only because of year-end revenue collections. On September 15,1976,by which time Howard had returned to office,Monroe received national attention when it could not meet its payroll of $167,320.36. Relief quickly came in a check to the city from the state government,signed by GovernorEdwin Edwards.[1]
Citing family financial obligations,Troy did not seek reelection in 1976,when he was succeeded by the more conservative Jack Howard,whom Troy had unseated four years earlier. But Howard would not complete his final term. Under Troy,voters rejected a plan to establish the since approved mayor–council government. Troy had then argued that his city "has just got to face up that we need a more modern and responsive form of government than that under which we are operating now ... There is waste because of needless duplication of executive functions and there is an inherent lack of representation of all elements of the community because [there are] three people [under the city commission form of government] elected at-large to do all the functions of government."[1][excessivequote]
Meanwhile,Troy returned to Troy and Nichols,Inc.,a mortgage and insurance business begun in Monroe by his father. In 1982,Troy sold his share of the business and relocated to the Atlantic coast at Wilmington,North Carolina.[3]
Troy and his wife,the former Frances "Francie" Warner,a native of Lookout Mountain,Tennessee,moved in 1997 to Boone,North Carolina,to live in the Appalachian Mountains.[3] There they remained until 2012. He was affiliated with the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship.[8] Sources also indicate that they lived in Blowing Rock and Raleigh,North Carolina.[8] In the last months of his life,the Troys lived in Hendersonville. There he died of cancer at the Elizabeth House Hospice in January 2014 at the age of seventy-eight.[1]
The Troys have four children,Pamela and Joan Troy,Ralph Troy,Jr. (known as Talbot Troy),and Joshua Troy,and two grandchildren,Willa and Talia. He has one surviving brother,Nat Troy. The obituary indicates that a memorial service would be held at a later date.[3]
Talbot Troy,said that his father "cared deeply about his community,wherever he lived. He was a great influence on a lot of people. He cared deeply about doing a good job for the city [of Monroe]. He was not a politician really,he was a very competent public servant. Above all,he was a person who wanted to serve and believed in honesty,integrity,and fairness."[1][excessivequote] Troy's obituary indicates that he "championed causes for equality,fairness and justice particularly for those in traditionally disadvantaged groups and victims of oppression.[3]
