Thank you for letting us hear this sad news. It was such a privilege for us to work with Roy for so many years at the Little Chapel on the Boardwalk. We appreciated all of the leadership which he and Grace, Melodee and Leigh gave in the life of that congregation while we were there. May God continue to bless, comfort and strengthen all of you in your sorrow.
