I worked with Roy at Lau blower division in Dayton. I´ll never forget Roy as long as I live. He was an inspiration to me. He told me a lot of stuff that he did in Vietnam and throughout his life. I miss Roy. Sadly I´m sure as everybody else does, I was one of lucky ones to met him in my life. At lunch, Roy would come around and say you want a big bologna or a little bologna that was a 40 ounce or a quart man those were the days I sure miss that guy. I went to the Indy 500 practice with him one year I think about Roy all the time and what a great guy it was. I was lucky to have met him.

Phyllis & family,
I am sad to hear of Roy's passing. It was almost a lifetime ago, when your family lived on Cedar Knolls and Chatelake. I won't be in Dayton this weekend, but truly thinking of your family.

Dear Phyllis: Thank-you and Roy for all you did. Roy overcame. He was an amazing man to me and honestly a HERO. More amazing was the fact that he and you were married almost 50 years. This day and age that is a "WOW". I pray for peace for you and your family. God Bless and keep you in this time of loss.
