Not sure what to say?

Roy was a delightful, kind man who demonstrated leadership in the design community. The ultimate volunteer, he always stepped in to help and was generous with his time. He was a model of professionalism and a wonderful mentor to me and so many others.

Roy was a longtime friend who did many projects for us over the years. He was terrific at his craft. We visited him last month and he still had his sense of humor. Rest in peace Roy. John and Judy Sullivan

I got to know Roy because of working at American House. He was social with me and always liked to talk about his architecture designs and projects and I liked listening to his stories too. I am sad to see he has passed away. Sincerely, -Dan, a Friend of Roy's at American House.

Please accept the heartfelt sympathies of the entire Kendall College of Art and Design of Ferris State University (KCAD) community. We are honored that we were able to be part of Roy´s journey and are deeply saddened by this loss of one of our alumni family.
