It had been awhile since I had Roy to provide service, but I had him for a number of years starting when
I lived in Chalmette. He was just a true gentleman and spoke of his family in such loving terms
I missed his visits, he was like a relative of mine and I shall always remember him, particularly
as a man who adored his wife and children. I will pray that the good Lord will find a loving
place for him in His many mansions. And may God bless his family with His enduring Love.

I will miss Roy greatly. He was so kind, always had a smile, conversed the entire time he was at my home to provide service, and it was evident that he loved his family very much. I am very sorry for his family's loss.
