Patch Work, Kent: Loris Troyer, longtime Record-Courier editor

I wrote an obit last week for the Kent Patch about the late Loris Troyer, who died Dec. 9, 2010, at age 96.

It showed up online today -- Dec. 23, 2010 -- with the Kent Patch's launching.

But it's okay that it wasn't online right away. After all, Loris Troyer's status has not changed.
