May God comfort your family in this time of loss and always as his legacy lives ion with you.

So many fond memories of this dear man. What an honor it was for me as he trained me in my career in Ophthalmology. I will never forget him and his genorosities.

Dr. Tunnell was a pleasure to be around. He was a longtime member of Experimental Aircraft Association Chapter 846 in Wadsworth and flew kids with us through EAA's Young Eagles program for many years. He was recognized by EAA as having flown the 500,000th Young Eagle. As the President and Young Eagles Chapter Coordinator of 846, I could always count on Roy being available with a rented plane to take kids flying. The kids always got out of his plane with a smile on their faces.

Dr. Roy Tunnell was an exceptionally good man with a big heart and honest spirit. I will always remember our discussions on world matters and his insightful views on the economy. I have the utmost respect for him and gratitude for the knowledge he shared with me. He will be greatly missed but remembered fondly with his big smile and deep baritone voice.

Offering our deepest condolences during this time.
