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.
