We are very sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family during this difficult time.

Roy was a great guy with a good sense of humor. If he liked you, you knew it, if he didn’t like you you knew it, he pulled no punches. He was also somebody that would have your back in tough situations, you could count on him. I worked with him for nine years, he was a good boss, and a good friend. I missed him when he retired, I will miss him more now. Condolences to his family.

I will miss you and Adam so much, hope you guys are reunited now.
