Roy French

Roy was my first employer in the directory business with Leland Mast. Thanks Roy, rest comfortably. Scott Heyer

Roy and Dennis started me in the yellow pages at Mast Advertising and Publishing. After an interlude of 10 years we met again at TWP and again a great experience knowing and reporting to Roy. Roy was a straight forward honest guy that gave me the impetus to be the same. I like to say I have. Rest well Roy. Scott Heyer

I´m sorry to say I had lost track of Roy French...We had worked together at Mast Publishing..a Yellow Pages Co ,located in Johnson Co Kansas..Roy was one off the real pros of our business..
I later began my own YP Co......Roy was a big inspiration to me...
Best regards to anyone connected or friends of Roy...

I am grateful to Roy for having loved and cared about my son, David, like his own.

Roy was my brother-in-law and my husband's brother. We love him and Dora greatly. Roy may be gone in body but not in our hearts and spirit. He will always be with us. James & Carol French

I remember in 1980 moving across the country because my mom was offered to be one of the first sales people for an innovative business-to-business yellow pages company in San Diego.

This company, none other than TransWestern Publishing, founded by Roy French and his business partner, Dennis. As a kid I watched as Roy and Dennis led the company to impressive growth, my mother continued in sales and management. I even worked at a summer job in high school designing ads in an emerging field, then called “desktop publishing,” that I learned from my time there that summer. A foundational skill that has served me well, even today, in running my own businesses today. I am thankful on my mother’s behalf, as well as my own, for the opportunity to be part of their entrepreneurial venture.

I am sorry for your loss and send my thoughts and prayers along with this photo for you and your family. Roy, my mother June, Pam, and Dennis - day one of TWP.
