Not sure what to say?

Heaven just got a great Vol.
If we beat Bama, we will know why.
RIP, Roy.

I have never met anyone else like Roy Adama during my lifetime and doubt that many others have either. Roy's passing is a deep sadness for all of us and if there is any solace now, it has to be that we had the rare privilege of knowing him. He was a family friend of ours for 55 years; not nearly long enough.

J.W. So sorry about Roy I hope all is going o.k. .

Tennstud, you were one of a kind brother and it will never be the same without you. Your amusing banters on the boards with all us guys will never be forgotten. See ya in Heaven Roy where we will sing Rocky Top Roy! Go Vols!

Roy was one of those unique characters
that only come around once in a lifetime.
Even if he had just met you, he made you feel like you were lifelong buddies.
The Vol Nation and all fun loving folks
will miss him.

MY DEEPEST SYMPATHY FOR THE ADAMS FAMILY DURING THEIR TIME OF SORROW. WE HAVE LOST A GREAT MAN AND A GOOD MAN!!!! I KNOW THAT HE IS LOOKING FOR ALL OF THE VOLS THAT HAVE WENT ON BEFORE HIM. MAY GOD BLESS HIS SOUL!!! TO THE FAMILY MAY GOD REPLACE YOUR MOURNING WITH MEMORIES AND REPLACE YOUR PAIN WITH PEACE. BE BLESS ALWAYS COACH D. MONTGOMERY!!! GO VOLS GO

It wont be the same during Holidays, we will miss all of your conversations we would have around the table, Dustin really enjoyed the Political Conversations yal would have.. My fondest memories were growing up and spending all summertime at your house swimming, playing shuffleboard, bumper pool, and of course pinball,, then we would all jump in the steam room til we couldnt breath and then jump in the pool,and the football players that would be there,...
