What a very nice man. I worked for him for many years and he was always up for a joke or a laugh. He loved his family and cherished his children. I have wonderful memories of those days.

I worked for Mr. Reines years ago at Tidykins. He was the best boss anyone could have. We played such pranks on him and he was always such a good sport. What a wonderful guy.

My deepest sympathy to Roy's family. I remember past golf matches and his wry wit and sense of humor. As the Lead Hawk of the Honorable and Ancient Order of Ball Hawks I will see that he is remembered at our annual meeting by a bagpiper playing Amazing Grace at our annual meeting overlooking the James River. It is our custom to do this for Hawks who have fallen from their perch in the past year.
