Roy Blackwell

I worked for Roy at Firemen's Fund in Sacramento.

Dear Henriette and family,
We will always treasure our memories of Roy and are grateful that he became a part of our life here on Whidbey Island.
Roy made our neighborhood extra special with his cheerful personality, sense of humor, gentle manner and his sparkling blue eyes.
We will be here to support you Henriette, as you adjust to your new life.
With love and sympathy,
Ellen and John Welsch

I will always love peanuts because Roy dumped a several hands...

It is never easy to lose someone that we love especially if it is one of our parents. My heart goes out to the family during this time. You will be in my prayers and thoughts.

Henriette,
Your fond recollections of Roy's life and times come through as true testament of his very special place in your heart. May each and every day be touched by his essence and blessed with his guiding light in your sorrow and your joys.

It is always amazing how God puts someone in your path ...someone that leaves an impression. Roy was one of those people. We send our deepest condolences to his precious wife Henriette,and to his children and grandchildren. May they sense and seek God's presence and His comfort.

It has been a pleasure and a honor to know Roy as a great neighbor and good freind. We spent many good times together over many meals with great conversations. He leaves us way too soon, but will remain in our hearts forever. A another BIG hug sent your way Roy, until we meet again.
