I just recently read about Roy's passing. I was one of Roy's last students. He showed me a lot about pool. My profound condolences go to all his family and friends. How do I get hold of Nancy? Thanks. Rest in Peace, Roy. I'll never forget you.

It was a pleasure to know you and to talk pool with you over the years. Your knowledge of the game was deep, and your love for it, and its participants was obvious and so welcomed by all. May you RIP my friend.

Roy was the light, in any dark pool room. As a man, few his equal. He was someone whom I always went out of my way to say hi. To his family and loved ones, I am lucky to have met him, as I first did in So. Cal. during the middle and late seventies on the green felts. He made me :)mile, and he always made my day just a little better.
Ma Man, I know you are definitely resting in peace.

I am saddened beyond belief. You were an awesome brother in law and more important, a loving, kind, thoughtful husband to my sister, Nancy, for that I am so grateful. I will love you always, Donna

Roy, I am very sad to see you leave this world.... You will be missed by those who knew and loved you. I will always remember the person you were and how you touched my life. You will be remembered by many as a great and accomplished pool player, trick shot exhibitionist, and certified instructor (aka Roy "Sensei" Yamane). A few will remember your love of fishing and the outdoors and your work as a landscape architect. I feel blessed to have known you and been a part of your life....

I feel honored that I knew you and played pool with you. You were a friend and a teacher to me. I'm sure you are playing pool with Grant in Heaven. What is our loss is Heaven's gain. Until we see each other again!
