I can't believe he's been gone for 8 years already. I'll always remember Roy always wanting to chat, watering his grass (he loved the outdoors, even the Yuma heat) Best friend and neighbor ever. Miss you and Pauline!

The best thing I loved about Roy and Pauline - they were always just Roy and Pauline - two of the most genuine people that I will ever know. They had a great, warm, and comfortable home, and you know what - life treated them good - hope some of that rubbed off on all of us. Love - Karen Johnson

My father(T.P. Reagan)worked with Roy at Arrow construction and my husband(Mickey Thomas)worked with him at Tanner. They both thought he was a great man. I had the pleasure of meeting him and totally agreed. I know you all will miss him terribly, but know you were blessed with the best. You are in our prayers,
Mickey and Madonna(Reagan)Thomas

I have been blessed to have the Howry Family as my closest friends for 47 years. What a privilege it has been. I learned a lot from all of them; however I learned about humility and love from Roy. He was a 'great' man, with a limitless heart, wisdom beyond his years, and chocked full of integrity.
Roy and Pauline modeled the Golden Rule. Saying that I will miss them is an understatement. They own a huge piece of my heart, and I am thankful every day that I was allowed to be a small part of their lives.
My prayers go out to Twyla (Baby Girl), David, Cheri, and Mike, along with all the grand kids. I'm sorry to see this part of their journey come to an end, we have so much more to talk about around the kitchen table, however it was time for Dad, to go home and be with Pauline! I can just imagine the conversations they'll have in Heaven...
Sent lovingly,

Mr. Howry was a wonderful man and will be truly missed. It's comforting to know that he's at peace and celebrating with his loving wife!
Our deepest sympathy! Love, Martha & Jonny

Roy was my neighbor. Every day Roy would be outside watering the grass. He was so much fun to talk to and often told stories of the past. Roy, you will be missed terribly.

I met Roy and Pauline a few years back; Pauline was my wife's AVON lady. We'd go and drop off orders and Roy would ask us in and had me sit in his living room. A perfect stranger and he just invited me in. They were one of a kind and will be missed
