Roy is proof that quiet little men can make a big impression. He did that for a lot of people. What an inspiration.

I've known Roy since I was 11. I learned to round dance in his basement. I learned to call on his equipment. I bought my first calling set from him. He always attended my dances, and was a great friend. I am honored to have been able to call him my friend for almost 40 years.

Roy was one in a million. Condolences to his family. He did so much for Square & Round Dancing around IL, WI, Iowa. He will be remembered fondly by many. 100 years was an accomplishment although he missed his Bernice so much ..now they can dance together again.
