Roy as a valued colleague as my area counsellor in various schools in Richmond school district.
He had great listening skills and always had great counsel when there were issues I had to deal with as a principal.
He saw me through many challenging days and I was always glad he was there.
I am sorry for your loss.
His wad a life well lived!
