Not sure what to say?

I knew Roy from working at McLeod and Yellowbook. I had the pleasure of meeting his wife on a couple of occasions. Roy was a jovial, caring and fun-loving man that saw a lot of humor in life. He was dedicated to his occupation and enjoyed the camaraderie of his teammates. One night when the group was out, Roy and I sung a rare karaoke song- The Eagles "Take it Easy". I will always remember that night and hope to live life with the carefree ease and confidence that Roy enjoyed.

Aunt Gerry..I'm at lost for words.I have an everlasting memory of Uncle Roy. I was about 5 or 6 and be gave me a ride in that old model t roadster that he had and we played checkers on the floor in grandma's living room on 19th st in Costa Mesa..and you know he let me win!! As we mourn on earth..Heaven has an everlasting angel...God Bless You
