Though this is a bit late, I just wanted to extend my sympathy to Roy's wife Martha and family.
Along with Ronnie Walter and Claire Marschack, I was a student of his at Tech,graduating in 1974. As they mentioned previously we all went out to visit him while in Erie for our 25th re-union. It was wonderful to see him and he beamed as we told him of our careers in art.

Condolences. As one of Roy's most erratic anti-establishment students, who went so far as to parody him in a little comic book, I want to say it took a long time to recognize what an oasis of encouragement and wisdom he provided in a town geared mostly towards factory workers. Erie has produced many creative people and more than a few got a push from the much-missed Roy Ahlgren..
I will come back and post a picture of our art class later this week,
