Roy and Mary were our neighbors across the street in Billings. They were great neighbors and were very good to my mom and I. I remember many games of HORSE at hoop on front of their house, fishing trips and Roy gave me my first job. I greased, washed and generally helped with his trucks. He had a big heart was a one of a kind person.
