Every person in our life has a purpose. When my family lived in Goodfield i could walk down to Roth's & find something to do. Roy was always willing to listen & share a laugh. Plus, he had that 1,000,000 miles safe driving record thing going for him!

Roy was always a good neighbor and always willing to give a helping hand when needed. If we needed a tool we would check each other's tool shed to find what we could use to do the job. Sometimes we would get into a long chat or visit, until our wife's would needed something done.
