Roy was the best man that I ever met. He showed me the world, stood behind me while I was going to school. Supported me in my decisions. Roy lov3d just sitting outside. He would watch me from the balcony while I walked beaches or took a trail through the woods. Everything he did was did to make me smile. Roy was my life. He will be deeply missed, but never forgotten.
Deepest Sympathy
