May God Bless Roy's family as they remember this great christian man. I worked with Roy in the basement of the BankCard Center for 3 years in the early 1970s. BankAmericard was new and Roy was instrumental in setting up new procedures along with Don Jutilla and so many neat and dear friends who worked for Roy. I remember Roy and I jumping in a car and driving out to a home and as Roy knocked on the door of the suspected card thief I stayed in the car and took a telephoto picture of the suspect which we developed and took to stores where the card was used. Everything in those days were done by hand. I remember when Roy told me that through the example of one of his employees he turned his life over to the Lord and dedicated himself to his family. I was proud to have known this great man.
