Roy was a great asset to Cypress Village. As the first President of the CVPOA he volunteered many long hours to insure the association got off to a stong and successful start. Barb and I had the priviledge of serving with him for a great number of years. We were blessed to have such a kind and giving man in our midst. Rest in peace.

We are so sorry to hear of the passing of Roy. What a wonderful man. Always with a smile on his face and always a kind word. Roy and Verne were the first people who had us over for cocktails the day we moved into our house. My late husband Fred and
Roy enjoyed many days of fishing together. I have many happy and fond memories of Roy and Verne. I know he went straight to heaven to join Verne. God bless you Pam.
