Roy, you crossed my mind today. I was waxing nostalgic about the early 70s at WAYS and WROQ. You were always an enthusiastic, dedicated and upbeat guy with an obvious love for life. I know that your new one is the grand reward but I had to tell you that, down here a lot of people really miss you a lot.

WOW! I went to tell him Happy Birthday and found out he is in Heaven. I never knew. I knew Roy from the time he was on WIST and we were both teenagers. When I got married, he came and did all the photography. He was so good in that, I thought he would go into it professionally. My heart is so saddened.He was so special. I will miss his laugh and he will be missed a lot.

Rosen family, I would like to say that it was an honor and joy to have had the opportunity for Roy to book me.....and to have shared some gigs with him as well. I enjoyed his pleasant conversations about his time at WAY's radio and his wedding gigs. I'm glad that I got to share some of his time, and as with everyone, I will be sad in knowing that there is no more of his time on earth to be shared.
