Roy was my dads cousin. They grew up together. I have enjoyed many pleasant stories about their growing up on Haywood Rd. We visited with him several times, and our daughter and son-in-law got to meet him as well. I left a cap at his home once, and he kept it till we returned. I know he impacted so many people. We are thankful for his service.

Condolences to the Jamison family. What a good, kind & thoughtful man. I had visited him when I was at a conference in Charlotte in about 2009, and left my cap at his house. When we visited again on our family vacation in 2013, the first thing he did was say "I think you left this here," and gave me my cap back. When my father talked about growing up, Roy was in all of his stories. They are together again now.
