So sorry to hear of Roy's passing. He was a great fellow, so nice to work with while I was in advertising over the years. We used to talk a lot about Arkansas & Oklahoma where we both have relatives, and adventures he and his sisters took on a road trip to Arkansas a few years back. We talked from time to time over the years and I was so happy to call him a friend. Best Wishes to his entire family!

I first met Roy around 1975 at West Capital Raceway. Roy's cars were always fast and good looking. Roy was a generous man, when the West Capital Raceway Alumni Association had our vintage race at the track in Roseville, Roy furnished a car for our special guest Parnelli Jones to use for the week. Roy provided the Hall of Fame hats for our organization. I will forever treasure his friendship.

Roy will be greatly missed by the Wilhite family. He always had a kind word to say and a smile on his face. One thing about cousin Roy is that he never forgot where he came from.
