My family is praying for the family and all his friends.
Roy was a true friend. I have so many stories from my experiences with Roy at Volkswagen. He was one of my first friends in Tennessee. He always had something for me to read from our many experiences in Lean. He always provided me items for my daughter - learning.
I will see you on the flipside my friend! RIH. Love ya man!

I am so sorry to hear about Roy. I loved working with him at Denso. We had such great times in the FACE team and we both took the buyout at the same time. My condolences to his family.
