Roy was a true leader, Christian gentleman and good friend. He will be missed terribly. He has helped so many in several different capacities. For example, in 1994, Roy guided me in securing other employment while with Berkshire employment. Again , on behalf of my wife, Helen and I , our hearts and prayers go out to his loving family and many friends. God bless!

I am so sorry that we cannot attend the service. Betty, my thoughts and prayers a re with you and the family. Roy was a wonderful friend and someone I felt quite close to. We moved to Jacksonville last week so our return to Reading at this time is not feasible. Please know my thoughts are with you.
