Ginger I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Roy lived life to the fullest. He was always on the run and never seemed to slow down, especially driving on Brambleton Ave. It was always a pleasure seeing Roy walk into Martin's with his great smile and sense of humor. I will truly miss him. May your memories bring you comfort.
