Amy and family ...

I just learned of Roy's passing ... how I regret that I never got to tell him how much he was appreciated in those very early years when Yoshi & I were first married. My love and deepest sympathy to you all ... may he live on in the hearts of your children and grandkids.

Deepest sympathies on the loss of your husband, father and grandfather. Roy was a kind, quiet, modest, hard-working, selfless person and we are all fortunate to have known him.
When we were on vacation in BC, Roy and Amy were extremely busy with the farm and yet they took time to see us and take us out to dinner. We have fond memories of Roy with Carter and Miyoko. The grandkids just loved him and Roy's face gave away how much he loved and cared for them.
Roy was a shining example of how all of us should live our lives. We will miss our dear cousin. Namu Amida Butsu.
