Roy best man at my wedding , I met at Grant's Tomb Coffee house. In his motorcycle riding days. I have a picture somewhere of him with short hair on his motorcycle in front of Grant's Tomb. Until he moved South I saw him often in The Village Resturant which he did much of the moving of it from it's original location on the other side Harrison Street. Kelley Lane

I met him 50+ years ago. He was always a man of values and convictions. He knew humanity better than most and yet he never gave up on us. I will always fondly remember him as a dear friend. If one sentence could summarize his life it would be this (I think he would approve)..HE MADE A DIFFERENCE. He was and still is, unforgettable. Condolences to family.

Rest in peace, Roy. You were smart, analytical, persuasive, persistent, and hilarious. The courts of justice committee was always in for a treat when you had testified. Condolences to Sally.

I first encountered Roy 50 or so years ago, he left a lasting impression in my memory. My greatest sympathy to his survivors and loved ones
