Jim grew up in Greensburg, where St. Clair Park was his second boyhood home. He loved playing sports and was a dedicated Pittsburgh sports fan.

Troy; daughters, Dr. Terry Troy and Amanda "Mandy" Anderson (Dane); son, Dr. Jeffrey Troy (Rachel); grandsons, Sam and Evan Troy; granddaughters, Abby Troy, Isadora and Juliet Anderson; and sisters, Connie Elder, Brenda Miklish, Marcia Ciarimboli, Ruth Ishman and Virginia "Gigi" Fredley.
