Nicky, Suzanne, Melissa, and Amanda, my thoughts are with you and your family, I recall countless visits your dad made to my dad to discuss gardening, woodworking and their rural upbringing, of which they found common ground. Several times each month during my dad's retirement years the two of them would stand in my dad's garden on Creek Park Rd and chat up a storm, and my dad truly enjoyed his friendship. Again, thoughts are with you, Tracy Baker

To the Smith Family: I would've never seen this announcement. I haven't bought an AJC paper in a long time. Dr. Roy and Dr. Nick both took care of me from a childhood (1970's) until 1990?? You two gentleman made it very hard for any dentist to meet my standard of approval that was nurtured and built by both of you. Thank you for taking care of all of the Darden children. Rest in Peace....No that's not a cavity Doc, it's a really dark shadow...I promise?
