Roy loved to come across the street from his apartment and talk to our dealership personnel.
He missed Carolyn and loved to talk about Rachael.
He also loved Pecan Sandies.
He had a very big heart! I miss our conversations.

We are saddened to hear of Roy´s passing. He was a very loyal customer and friend of our dealership for many years! He had a keen sense of humor and I enjoyed many lively conversations with him. He was a good neighbor and watched over our properties in the many years he lived across the street.
Douglas and Rachael, we trust the our Lord will support you during this difficult time.

"A soldier has passed away today." The final battle is now over and peace has been restored. You are now relieved from your post. A job well done fellow war veteran. America thanks you for your service to our country in the defense of freedom and democracy. We all are grateful for your stepping up to the plate when your country needed you the most. The final bugle has sounded and taps is about to sound ending a successful career as a nation´s defender. Farewell fellow veteran. A Navy Vietnam Veteran.
