Leslie,
From our family to you and your family we offer our deepest sympathy. Roy was so young and so much to look forward to while being retired in Florida. He loved his family and loved life. I know he is deeply missed by all.

Leslie Judy and family, What can I possibly say about the loss of my friend of over 50 years, I am deeply saddened and shocked. Roy and I have shared so much of our lives and even with the passing of time, the fondest memories are frequently in my mind. We were inseparable in our youth, and those bonds will never be broken or forgotten. I wish I could be there to comfort you in this tragic loss, but I realize there is no possible comfort and words seem so inadequate. Roy was one of my best friends and his loss will be a loss for many who knew and loved him. My prayer is for you who remain to grieve, for in my heart I know he is with God in heaven, who will now comfort him forever in the Palm of His Hand. Love always, Roy Cook

Leslie, our prayers are with you and the family. May you find comfort in fond memories always. Wayne and Pat Stange
