Troy Peters, 82, of Alma died Sunday, May 12, 2013 in his home.
He was born January 30, 1931 in Mountainburg to Manual and Ida Mae Peters.
He was an avid sportsman, and a master carpenter. He built everything from post offices, car washes, public schools, banks, federal housing projects, and custom homes.
