Not sure what to say?

My Uncle Roy was so much fun and so good his sister Lola ( my mom).
Every time we went to Oklahoma to Roy and Betty's..... He would have a Sara Lee chocolate pie waiting for me!!!!
I Love You Roy!

Top Sherry will always be in my heart due to his Marine Corps attitude. I dearly ;loved him and will always miss him. Loved every minute he entered the doors at Sgt Grit Marine Corps Specialties.
Semper Fi Top Sherry and I pray you rest in peace.

Top Sherry was one of my favorite customers at Sgt Grit. He was sweet, kind, and a very proud Marine. I am deeply saddened by the news of his passing. May he rest in peace

I always called him Uncle Roy even though technically he's "Great Uncle Roy". He really was one of my favorite people to be around, always positive with a big heart. Thanks Roy for being there for my Eagle Scout and Graduation and never forgetting to remind me how proud you were of me. Say hi to your sister for me, I always felt close to Grammie when you were around.

One of the greatest men I will ever know. Loved him dearly. He was family to me. Semper Fidelis

Top Sherry was always a pleasure to talk to and to see coming through the Sgt Grit doors. He always had a joke or a quick jab at our sister services. I will miss his presence and the wealth of knowledge that he always had to share. Even though to him I will always be considered a boot Marine, he will always be my friend and my brother. Semper Fi Top, Fair winds on your final journey.

Sempre Fi Tops

Mr. Sherry was a valuable volunteer at Coronado Heights Elementary. For many years he could be found in our cafeteria on Friday mornings popping popcorn for our students. He also participated in our Veterans' Day assembly and proudly sang the national anthem and his Marine Corps song. We loved having him at our school.

Semper Fi, Roy. All of your friends at the Marine Corps League will miss you.
