    Unfortunately I never had the chance to meet Royal Stephen Leo Shoup. My good friend Royal spoke very highly of his father and loved him dearly. I was fortunate enough to hear all the story’s about his father and the good times they have shared together. Royal’s father brought into this world a fine young man, family oriented, morally sound and a wonderful member of our society. Our prayers are with him and his family.
