Dearest Andrew, Mary, Dave, and FAMILY,
Loved Roy - always so warm, and just loving to you guys (and me!). Especially spending some time with him at the Bonacci gathering was so heart warming.

Growing up with Andrew as one amazing friend since 7th grade before cell phones, Roy would often be the answering the phone when I'd call. Or in the later years, when I'd chat with Mary often.

Andrew, I remember him driving the two of us to the Arsenal Mall many years ago back in middle school!

The love I saw in Roy's eyes when I first got to meet and spend time with Christie as a baby just made me melt away. And the care I saw at her birthday parties with that same love to you, Andrew.

Dave, the cheer your dad had when you and your sweet girls came in. Mary, the way you two cared about each other...
You guys are like family, and I am so thankful to have had him part of my life.

Will always remember him so fondly.

Dear Mary, Please accept my condolences. I fondly remember Roy from our C.Y.O. baseball days at Sacred Heart and being the only Watertown member of the Cushing St. Gang. I last saw Roy when I invited him to play basketball with my friends. He was a smooth guard and we unfortunately were hackers. R.I.P. my friend.

I and the Muti Family fondly remember Roy from Sacred Heart Church in Watertown. He was admired by many neighbors and as well as by my brothers Bill, Ron, and Kevin as well as my late Dad, Dominic Muti.
May he rest in peace with our Good God.

Dearest Andrew
I am so heart broken to hear about the passing of your dad, Roy. We attended both Russell Grammar (K-8, class of '59, and CHLS, class of '63). In addition, we have been together at several of our reunions, planned dinners, get togethers, etc., over the years. The last time I saw Roy was at the Cheesecake Factory in Braintree, a couple of years ago. I am the classmate that was an executive for the Boston Red Sox under Mrs. Yawkey. We had one of our reunions there. I will miss your dad. Roy was always a sweet guy, perfect gentleman, extremely smart, and I am proud to have known him. I am sending my condolences to you and your family. As ever, Linda Jackson.
