My sympathies to the entire family. I thoroughly enjoyed the "annual visit" from Lillian and Roy. In those brief meetings, Roy always brought some light into my very long days. I had to smile when I read about Roy's special talent - the gift of gab. How true. My prayers will be with you all.

Holly, our thoughts and prayers to you and your whole family from all of us at Falcon. If a man is judged in part by how he raised his children, your father was a wonderful man.

To Roy's Family - My deepest sympathies on your loss and please know that prayers are with you at this time. So many things that so many could share about Roy.

I went to Roy for the next 30 plus years (even driving back on weekends when I moved to Ohio) up until his retirement. I have been to other barbers, but there sure is no one like Roy! Secondly, when...

Dear Holly , We did not know your father, met him only once. But his smile lit up the room. We do know that he had to be special if he was born in Pittsburgh and a Steeler's fan. And of course that he produced a wonderful daughter like you, We were glad that the family got to be with him on his last day. We have all of you in our thoughts and prayers.
Love
Dave & Miriam Devey
