My husband ( Blair Sanders) and Roy were good friends. They both were into mowers and tractors. He spent many an afternoon at my kitchen table going over parts and repairs. Sadly they are both gone now. My heart goes out to Deloris and family.

So many fond memories of my cousin Roy. We have lost a wonderful friend and family member. He and Dee was such a joy to be with. So many fun visits with them down on the farm or when they made their yearly trips to Michigan for our family reunions. RIP Roy you will be missed.
