Dear Family,

I was shocked and saddened to hear of Roy's passing. My heart goes out to the entire family. Roy was a blessing to each of us at G & E Parts. We enjoyed getting to know him over the many years seeing him in the store. He wasnt just a loyal customer, but a great friend to us all. My prayers will continue to go out to the family in the tough road ahead. May The Lord soothe and comfort each of you in this difficult time.
