I love you Great Grandpa Roy! I used to visit you in the hospital. When you gave me that hug I thought " I love You, I hope nothing happens to you."

I'm truly sorry Lana, and the rest of the family because I didn't make it to the service or visitation. I wasn't aware when he would be buried. I don't get the paper and I forgot to check the obits on my phone. Know this, He was a very special person I respected a great deal. He was always "trying to be funny". He will be missed I'm sure. I still miss my father, Paul, and it has been 15 years since my father went home to or Lord and I still think of him often. He died before he ever knew his great grandkids.
I wish you enough...

We still remember their visit here in Georgia. I remember time with him here and in Kentucky, that he was a friendly and jovial person to be around. I know he will be missed.

Thank you Daddy Roy first for your daughters hand in marriage.
She has brought me much joy and happiness.
Thank you for the memories you brought to my children.
Most of all thank you for being you.
You always believed in me.
You always had my back.
You became my best buddy.
Now that you've left I will strive to be what you saw in me.
