Mary Ann, I am so sorry to hear of Roy's passing. I remember all of the wonderful good times in high school and times we all had together. He was a great friend.
I feel so bad that I won't be able to make the viewing or service. John called me yesterday but I did not find the notice until now, had to work all day.

Mary Ann
I regret that I will not be able to attend Roy's Viewing or Service. On Monday another friend died has the same service schedule as Roy's that I committed too. I have a letter to you that is forming my head that I will send in the very near future. I know that many will tell you that Roy was a really good guy, he was ! With regrets. Tom Lofink
