Roy was a great guy who was the ultimate hunter & expert on his father,Olaf Wieghorst's Western paintings. He 'Righted' a decision on a fine Olaf Wieghorst painting we owned that was shot down by an art person who is considered by some, to be one of the top Western art 'Experts' in the U.S. When I showed the painting to Roy he said,"Of course that my dads work done in the prime of his life in 1945!"~ We first met Roy and his dad on the set of John Wayne's movie, El Dorado. We miss him and hope the Best for his wife and family,

I went to high school with Roy's 2 daughters and only met him twice and he was a nice person to chat with. After that, I never saw him again. Dana and Lisa, I'm sorry for your loss. He will always be alive in your hearts. I send my condolences to everyone in your family during this difficult time.
