Roy was always positive and cheerful. Roy is one of the best people we have known. We consider Roy one of our best friends. He was always kind, interested in us and our grandchildren. In fact, Roy made three benches for our grandchildren and one of his Bronco picnic tables for our grandkids. Our grandchildren love and cherish them. In fact they all know Roy and always loved seeing him at the Brighton Recreation Center. Thoughtful Roy made a game for us to play with golf tees. We love its challenge and rarely win! Roy's positive attitude always made us see the world in a positive way. We loved talking about the Broncos, Roy was such an avid fan. Roy was proud of his family and spoke of them fondly and with pride. We enjoyed so many of his stories about Brighton and his career with Kuners and the military. Roy was proud of his garden. He would always beam when he shared a story about another great-grandchild. We will never forget the example he was for us with his friendship, positive outlook and caring heart. Roy we will miss you but never forget you.
