I knew Roy through his volunteer work at Mayview. He was treasurer across the years and no job was too small for this mechanical engineer. He and Cathy taught by example. They lovingly spent time together “… in sickness and in health...” Despite failing health he continued to attend luncheons with her at Peters Place. We all are blessed to know this devoted couple and their families. May many wonderful shared memories bring the Allen families and friends peace.
