Roy E. Downham

My deepest sympathy to the family. I worked for TEC Systems when Roy was at the helm. Such an intelligent, fun loving man. I have so many good, fun memories of him and my days at TEC. May he rest in eternal peace!

Pat and family you have my condolences. I enjoyed Roy’s expertise and input as a fellow Board member of University Village Housing Inc. Roy was very interested in meeting the housing needs of University of Wisconsin Green Bay students in the most efficient and effective manner. Enjoyed sharing coffee and pondering the lay of the land at Green Bay Area Mens Club meetings with Ray! As a deliberate leader Roy was never shy in sharing his position! Rest In Peace my Friend!

Pat, we are so sorry for your loss. I’m glad you found each other and were able to share the years you did and make some great memories. We only met him once but new he was a kind and generous man. What a wonderful legacy he leaves. With deep sympathy, Jerry and Debbie (Tilly) Schmit

I am glad to have known Roy. May he rest in peace. Our sympathies to the family. From us in Grand Haven, Michigan.
