The entire Silcox family sends their love, big hugs, and deepest sympathy to all the Plowmans and Banks in the loss of Uncle Roy. My first memory of him was climbing on him when I was little! Grandma and Grandpa counted on him for a lot and I've always been thankful that he was there for them. I remember him as quiet but in charge with a great sense of humor and a positive attitude. Andy and I are so glad we made the time to visit in the last couple of years! In honoring his request we will make plans to come to Lansing and spend time with family. I also look forward to morning coffee with him when we catch up!
