This is really an unexpected Heartbreak My Deepest Condolences To The Nicholas, Toomer, Green, Wilson Families, Schoolmates, Neighbors, Relatives and Friends For Your Loss Of "ROY" I´ve known "ROY", Aurwin, Jerald and Craig since 1971 when I became Friends with Ollie at South Central Bell/Bellsouth, then later in life "Lil Nat". My Daughters and Nieces were Their Childhood Friends. It´s really hard for Me since I actually got a chance to see and talk with "ROY" at "Big Nat" and Ollie´s Funerals just a few months ago. May Our Lord Bless and Strengthen ALL During This Period of Grief.
