Chief Roy Crazy Horse was a tenacious advocate for the people and was a compassionate human being. I am proud to have spent time in his presence when we worked together on community services and energy conservation (weatherization) programs. I keep his legacy alive by telling his story to my children. God bless all.

I was sorry to hear of the passing of Chief Crazy Horse. We have known each other since 1945. We often spoke of the old days in West Philadelphia. May his visions for Native people continue for future generations. He will be sorely missed.

I will remember Chief Roy as someone who was determined that Indian people in New Jersey, past and present, be treated with respect. As an archaeologist, I sometimes worked with him on the difficult task of looking after Indian burials discovered during work on development projects. My colleagues and I learned a lot from him, and he will be missed.
