Roy Smith

October 5, 2010

I was so sorry to hear of Roy's passing. He was a very special man and it was a joy and privilege to work with him. He made working at H.P. more like joining a family. The world is a better place for his being here, and a sadder one for his loss. Our prayers are with you in this time of sorrow. Always remember, a man as amazing as Roy is never truly gone. His good deeds and good will go on.
