I am so sorry for your loss of a wonderful and caring man. My heart aches for you and your family. My family (my parents, myself, and my son) always enjoyed seeing both of you at 4 o'clock mass. Roy always had a smile and a joke. We will miss seeing his face at mass at SJV. You and your family are in our prayers and we are sending strength during this difficult time.
(We are the family that sit about 2-3 pews behind you and Roy would call my dad Roy an my dad called Roy- Ray.)

My memories are so vast with Roy, Up North, visits to California and Hawaii, his Tiger Cruise on the USS Olendorf with Dave, dad and my kids. The drive he made with mom, Sasa and I cross country will always bring a smile to me. He always had a twinkle in his eye as he was ready to add one more funny line. I was blessed to have him in mine and my familys lives. I am thinking of you all. Wish I was there to give you all hugs.

I have such fond memories of a special man who was always full of love and laughter which he spread to everyone around him. I know he instilled in his children these same wonderful qualities.
