Not sure what to say?

He was one of my favorite trainers at suburban Essex riding academy in the 1980s. He taught me so much about the sport of dressage. I'm sorry to hear of his passing.

Roy was my best friend in the whole world when we were neighbors in Bedford, PA. I fondly remember all the times we partook in lighting boxes and boxes of matches which we "borrowed " from the supply his Dad had stored for his gas station. Total innocence, we just liked seeing the pretty colors in the flames. Now as an adult, I am so thankful we didn't set the house or the planting beds on fire!

My heart was broken when Roy and his family moved to Salem. It has been broken again...

Roy took me under his wing many years ago. He & his parents let me lease their Arabian stallion, Shabaan to learn on. They were all So good to me. My sincere condolences to the family.

Roy was a dear friend in high school. We attended the same church, we were neighbors and we were in the marching band. We shared many laughs in his Cadillac convertible . Fond memories.
Sending sympathy to Eric and Roy's sisters

Little Roy was the family star since birth and deservedly so....a wonderful and funny kid as I recall. His siste,Donna, and I were trouble ...played hookie etc. Mild compared to today. Hugs to Donna and Jean.

Roy and Eric were a major part of me becoming the equestrian I am today. I will hold in my heart all the wonderful memories and laughter we had together.

I will never forget the wonderful experience that Roy, Eric and I had in Roy finding my mare Wellwisher... our trip to Europe, our trip to Devon wherein Roy masterfully rode Welli to 2nd Place finish... my condolences to Eric and Roys family, Roy will surely be missed.

May God bless you with comfort and peace during this difficult time. -
