Not sure what to say?

Roy and I often talked about all the "catch" we played with our brothers as kids and young men on the farms. All those years of shared experiences and we never forgot that part. I'll miss him.

Marge and Family,
May God bless you and your family at this time of sorrow. Roy was a true friend and fellow team mate of mine. He anchored the center of our "Bago" Middle Seven Conference Championship football team in 1947. It has been a priviledge to have known and played next to him in the line that year. My thoughts and prayers will be with you and Roy and your family.

We were sorry to hear about the passing of Roy--known to us of course as "Mr. Jenkins" our High School principal. Please know that you are all in our thoughts and prayers during this time.
Sincerely,
Scott and Brenda Berberich

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

Coach Roy Jenkins ("RDJ") was a true blessing to the village of Ivanhoe, MN. His teams at IHS achieved extraordinary success on the field, but all who played for him emerged as far better teammates, friends, students, and citizens from what they learned and observed from RDJ...words cannot adequately express the many ways he influenced all who came to know him and his family.
