Our sincere sympathy in the loss of Roy. He was a great husband, father, grandfather and colleague. He was probably the most honorable, sincere and dedicated person. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. 🙏 HUGS.

My sincere condolences on the passing of Roy. Please pass this along to Gladys. She and I were very good friends growing up and have since lost touch. I would love to reconnect with her. I remember Roy although I did not know him well. I remember when he and Linda got married and when Leroy was born. Gladys was a pretty proud auntie. Roy left us far too young. Again, my heart-felt sympathies and prayer as you grieve the passing of Roy.

I’m sorry for your loss. Roy was a fantastic guy. Every morning for 12 years he would come into the office always happy and positive about the day. I missed our little visit when he retired.
You are in my prayers
