My condolences to Roy's family on the loss of their husband, father and grandfather.
Roy always spoke of his family with great admiration. I knew Roy (known to me as Fred) from the Weather Chat room. I'm going to miss chatting with him. He was a true gentleman, and will be fondly remembered for his wit, humor, intellect, poetry and his kindness to others.
Keeping you in my prayers,
Louie

My dear Jean and family, Fred was a lover of words as I am. I truly enjoyed my conversations with him and I loved his poetry. He was an inspiration to eveyone who knew him. I met Fred in Myrtle Beach two years in a row and was looking forward to seeing him again this year. I know that Fred is in a good place with our other chat friends that we lost. He no longer is in pain and that makes my heart soar for joy for him. God Bless You Fred. I shall miss our talks. Hugs to You.

Fred was a fair man, and always good to me right from the first time I ever met him. He was always quick witted, and fired off anything he could to those of us in chat, whenever we may have felt down or troubled, and had a good heart with which to listen to others.

Fred, a taller figure than many, a brighter person than most, a man loved by everyone and a memory that will be cherished by all who knew him and some who didn't, forever.

I met Fred on the Internet, Weather Chatroom. I instantly found myself drawn to his wonderful personality, his poetry and his humor.
I will miss seeing Fred in the weather chatroom.
He is in God's hands now and I know someday I will see him.
If there is anything at all I can do Jean to help, please don't hesitate to contact me.

I have never had the pleasure of meeting "Fred" in person. He welcomed me to the chat room and became someone I could go to for advice . I will always treasure those wonderful memories of all the laughter and inspiration. May God Bless All of Fred's family and friends with the strength to carry them thru this . Fred will live on forever in our hearts. To Fred's Family > Thank You for sharing him with us ! It is an honor to be his friend.

He was a kind soul with a wonderful sense of humor! OK Roy, I will keep my promise to you! Thank you my dear friend, and enjoy Heaven!
Loveingly;

You will be greatly missed for your wit and humor you brought to many a chat night which came from the inner you. However, you now are safely resting in the Arms of the White Light of Peace and Grace.
