I knew Roy, but not as Iron Man, I knew him as a fellow co-worker working just down the road on Lewsitown and that T/A. Roy was a friend always full of laughter and smiling. He will be greatly missed. We have lost a good man, one that could find a way to make you smile. Please accept my condolences.

Memories of Roy are many for my son Jamal and me. I met Roy many years ago and had the opportunity to live in New York with him and my sister. Roy was always a loving and caring brother-in-law and a devoted uncle. Not only did he open his home to us but also his heart. I will always remember his kindness. My family extends our deepest sympathy at this difficult time.

Kenny and Lucinda, I know this is a hard time for you and your family right now, but put your trust in the Lord and he will give you everything you will need to get thru this time. Roy is out of pain now and is seated in the heavenly realm with Christ our Saviour. Take comfort in knowing he will be watching over you. You both brought so much to his life and one could always see this joy whenever he was around you both or spoke about you both. Roy you will be truely miss.
