Stephen Royer Obituary

ROYER Stephen Alexander Christopher (Hog) Royer, age 57, fell asleep in the arms of Morpheus on May 21, 2005, at his home in Laurelville, OH. He was preceded in death by his parents Bob and Cassie Royer. Survived by his wife, Lynn; his kids, Starbuck and paws; and his chosen family, his friends. He attended Bishop Watterson HS and graduted from St. Francis DeSales HS. He was a US Navy veteran and retired from the City of Columbus as an equipment operator. From birth to death he loved to play in the dirt. Steve was a philomath and loved people. He often said he had seen the elephant and they had swapped stories. According to his wishes, there will be no calling hours. A memorial service celebrating Steve's life will be held at EGAN-RYAN FUNERAL HOME, 403 E. Broad St., on Tuesday at 7 p.m. In lieu of flowers friends who wish may contribute in his memory to Central Ohio Diabetes Assoc., 1100 Dennison Ave. Columbus, OH 43201 or the Make a Wish Foundation, 941 Chatham Ln.

Lynn, We just returned from vacation when we heard the sad news. Mike and I want to send our love and prayers to you and the family. Hog will be greatly missed. He was a fun-loving guy with a heart of gold, and he made the best chili in town. Please know that we will be thinking of you.

Lynn,

It's been many years since we saw one another back in the All American Cable days. :) I want to express my sympathy to you and tell you my thoughts & prayers are with you. I'll always remember Hog with a bright twinkle in his eyes & a big smile on his face. He was always so warm & friendly to me and it was as if noone was a stranger to him. I know how hard it is to lose someone we love and that's so close to us. But I believe they're not gone forever, just simply gone away until we meet again. And until that time, they remain with us, in our thoughts & our heart. Much love & Gods strength be with you.

I didn't know Steve, but Karen Haley is one of my best friends and I know how hard she tried to get a flight to attend Steve's services. He and his family sure meant a lot to Karen and I know personally how special Karen is, so Steve must have been also. I am so sorry for your loss. Sincerely, Betsy Briggs

Lynn,

I am so sorry to hear of Steve's death. We all had such great times at class reunions. He enjoyed life and will always be remembered.

Guido & I were so priviledged to have HOG and Lynn attend our wedding. It gave our children an opportunity to meet them - after all the stories we had told!

Lynn, we hope we can still see each other when we "hop" into Columbus...we cherish those times.

Steve was one in a million. I'm happy that we got to call him a friend! All I have to say is, on Tuesday evening, "Walk slow and drink lots of water!" We'll be with you!

Much love

Hog's old darling of the bar.
