To Roy's family, we are sorry for your loss. We feel like we know "Evan's uncle Roy" by the many stories shared with us over the years. He leaves behind a legacy of love and humor. We will keep you all in our prayers.

TO ROY'S FAMILY-I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER HIM AS ONE OF THE GREATEST. I USE TO CLEAN AND DUST HIS BARBER SHOP ON BABCOCK BLVD. HE GAVE ME A FREE HAIR CUT FOR DOING THIS. I WAS ONE OF GUYS WHO STARTED HIM TO COLLECT WATCH THOBS. I GAVE HIM A FEW AND KNOW HE HAD A BIG COLLECTION. HOPING THE FAMILY FINDS COMFORT. HE WILL NEVER BE FORGOTEN.

My sympathies to the entire family. I thoroughly enjoyed the "annual visit" from Lillian and Roy. In those brief meetings, Roy always brought some light into my very long days. I had to smile when I read about Roy's special talent - the gift of gab. How true. My prayers will be with you all.

Holly, our thoughts and prayers to you and your whole family from all of us at Falcon. If a man is judged in part by how he raised his children, your father was a wonderful man.

To Roy's Family - My deepest sympathies on your loss and please know that prayers are with you at this time. So many things that so many could share about Roy. Just two quick ones from my standpoint: I was one (1) year old when my parents took me to "Roy's Barber Shop" for my first haircut. I went to Roy for the next 30 plus years (even driving back on weekends when I moved to Ohio) up until his retirement. I have been to other barbers, but there sure is no one like Roy! Secondly, when my dad was ill and was unable to leave to house, Roy would come to my parents home to cut dad's hair and would spend time visiting with my parents. You sure would not get that kind of service today. Indeed, he was a great story teller and loved to tell a good joke and always had a smile on his face. Again, Roy was a special guy! Blessings to your family from our family.

Dear Holly , We did not know your father, met him only once. But his smile lit up the room. We do know that he had to be special if he was born in Pittsburgh and a Steeler's fan. And of course that he produced a wonderful daughter like you, We were glad that the family got to be with him on his last day. We have all of you in our thoughts and prayers.
Love

I am so sorry for your loss. I remember Roy so fondly from Mellwood Church and from tagging along while my dad & brothers got their hair cut. He was always smiling. May you find comfort in knowing that he touched many lives.
