I willl remember Roy with fond thoughts. I think I shall remember him most talking with me about "Where the fish were biting".

I shall also remember him as a good and honest business person. Someone you could always rely on.

May God bless and keep you during this difficult time in your lives. I share your pain, as I lost Mack last month.

Take care of each other.

I remember Roy as a childhood friend of me and my brother Robert Wayne Pelt. We did many good and some bad things that I will never forget. But, I remember the day that Roy told me he was a born again Christian. I know that Roy has finally made it home with his Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. We will all follow youon our way home too, Roy very shortly.

Roy and I were childhood friends in the 1950's. I have many fond memories of our youthful escapades. He was a fun loving and generous friend.

Roy was my lifelong friend. He was an honest man, sensitive and fair and generous.

My heart goes out to all Roy's family. There was no one else quite like him and he will be missed. Indeed, he is missed already.
