I was a boy in the Royal Ranger program at Calvary Assembly of God, many years ago. Roy was a good example and played a part in developing me in my own Christian walk. I will never forget those meetings and campouts that helped shape me into the man I am today.
Thank you, Roy, for giving to the Lord. I am a life that was changed.
