My thoughts and prayers are with the whole family. Even though he was once my brother-in-law I didn't get to know him very well, but I did have alot of respect for him because I know he was a good man.

Our sympathies go out to Roys family. Roy was a great person. Hard worker, kind and always ready to do what he could for you. Brian and I worked with Roy for a few years at DSC. We were both at one time his manager. Both of us agree that he was a pleasure to manage. Just terrific. Although it has been 5 years since either of us has worked at DSC we still speak of Roy with respect and admiration. He is just someone that we never forgot. Know how special he was to everyone he came in touch with. Our thoughts are with you all at this time. Brian and Kim Fox
