Dear Sylvia and family,
I enjoyed seeing Roy at our last high school reunion. We attended school together from first grade through ECU. Since I walked past his house on the way to GHS, we often walked together. I know what you are going through and you have my deepest condolences. May God comfort you all at this time.

Roy and I were neighbors and grew up together and were classmates in both high school and college. We worked on the East Carolinian together. He was a dear friend and one of the finest men I have ever met. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
