I had the pleasure of befriending Roy several years ago, while working with DCMA, and as a member, then officer of AFGE Local 2069. Roy had a impressive Air Force and civil career. Roy and his wonderful wife Doris, have always been an inseparable team. He will be greatly missed from both the bother hood of veterans, union members and officers alike! "Rest in peace my brother"
