Seems like yesterday we sat on your front porch talking. Will never stop missing one of my best Pals and all the great, fun conversations we shared, shooting stories, hunting and fishing memories and many others. Roy was a good man and a MASTER Mechanic ! He would do anything for anyone without question and I'm proud to call him my friend ! I miss you buddy. Until we meet again my friend, "keep your powder dry" ! Your pal, Mike Cable Mannington, NJ & Blandon, Pa.

My deepest condolences to Deb, Warren, Mallory and the entire Christman family. Roy was a great man. We often had long talks about shooting, guns, mechanical things, equipment, my Police career (which I would make him laugh) wood working and shooting Trap, Skeet & Sporting Clays and other shooting sports which was and is close to both of our hearts. I first met Roy four and a half years ago when I moved across the street from him. He was the only person in the entire neighborhood to walk over and shake my hand and say hello. As time went by, I would come to know a very special man, kind, caring, gentle in his own way and always willing to help out without even being asked at times. We spoke of many things on his front porch in those Rocking chairs when I would walk over and sit a spell with he and Maxwell by his side waiting for Deb to arrive home from work. There is so much more to say and write but, I have truly lost a true good friend and gentleman who I will miss dearly every day. Roy always asked me about how I was doing even though he was not himself feeling well. It was never about him, but he wanted to make sure I was alright with some issues. Wait for me on the Trap Range my friend and have a freshly reloaded box of Winchester AA's for me ! Until we meet again in that land of life, light and liberty pal, your friend forever ! Mike...........
