I met Roy over 25 years ago. I worked with his wife Doris in the govt. When ever we would visit Florida in the winter, we would make it a special point to go to their place over in Bradenton and they would take us to the beach. Roy was a very kind and sweet man and we are sorry to hear of his passing. My family and I have your whole family in our prayers. Love, the Wrights
