Paula,Tish,Buffy,
He will be missed. Your father was my kinda man. I will never forget how he always treated me and I will add him to my nightly prayers for as long as I pray. The time he spent here he did many things that would make any family proud.

My deepest sympathy - anyone can tell what a great father Roy was by how much his daughters cherished him. The Heavenly Father will surely lay out a banquet feast to welcome him! May you find peace.

"What you talking about?" Is what he is probably asking Jesus, and making Him laugh. He brought joy. We will greatly miss you Compadre, but we will not forget you, you and your family will be in my prayers.
