Not sure what to say?

Another year has since passed... 8 years since you left us and yet it still feels like yesterday. I miss you very much dad. When you were here I didn´t realize how much I needed you.

To the family of Richard Roye:

I had the pleasure of meeting and working with Richard when we met at Harbison Walker Brick Refractory in Hessville, IN. The first time we met we had an instant bond that lasted for over 50 years. Richard would often call me and ask if I could come in and work midnights, even after we both weren't working there anymore. (I was teaching at Griffith High School at the time.) Even though I am retired now he would still call. I talked with him a couple...
