My deepest sympathy is sent to Roy's wife Karla and his family. I became acquainted with Roy through Walmart Transportation. I am a coworker but thought of him as a true friend. My first introduction to Roy was when he pulled onto the Walmart lot and asked if that was my F350. I replied "yes it was". He then replied back to me "I was the previous owner of that truck and asked if I would be interested in selling it back to him! From that moment on we were friends! He always had a smile on...
