I knew Roy as "Shottie," my older cousin, and as a child was more than a little impressed by how kind and generous he was to this kid visiting from West Virginia. Shottie, Dorothy, Aunt Goldie, and Uncle Roy, all found ways of making my parents, my sister, Charlotte, and myself feel special. The world was blessed to have a man like Shottie in it. My wife, Robin, and I extend our deepest sympathy to Dorothy at this sad time. May God bless them all!

I knew Roy when he was an instructor at
Smithdeal-Massey Business College. I had him as a instructor for over a year. He was a wonderful person who took pride in his teaching & his students. We extend sympathy to his sister, Dorothy.
