Uncle Roy we will miss you very much. I will cherish the great memories I have of you especially the ones from just last year in Atlanta. Your smile we will always remember that cause you always smiled no matter what. My heart is heavy right now for Aunt Ruth and Bobby but I know they will be ok. Bobby has turned into a great man just like you were.
Love Carol

May the memories of Uncle Roy fill our hearts with smiles. So proud to have had a fun-loving, joker, Uncle that made me feel special as a child. Open, warm & welcomed my family to your home, great memories thank you. Gone from earth but walking the "streets of gold" in Heaven because of The Old Rugged Cross. Love & Prayers

Roy Jacobsen (Uncle Roy) too many was a gentle man and a loving man. I remember his laughter. I also remember teaching Aunt Ruth how to dance he got a kick out of that and I will always remember that. My thoughts go out to his wonderful family both near and far.
