May you Rest In Peace, Roy.
I met you in 1975 with my friend Brenda, and we would hang around. You were always so nice to us when we were young.

Getting reconnected to Roy at Roy's Corner during the last couple years was a blessing. He seemed to be in his element along with his son and others. My wife, Tamara and I wish young Roy and the family all the best.
RIP Roy

The lights have been dimmer in the Ol' Pueblo as we mourn the loss of community leader, family entrepreneur, advocate, shrewd politico Roy. A teacher and mentor to many and a voice for and about the people of S. AZ, and all corners of our great State. I was extra fortunate to count him as a dear friend, and compadre. Gracias dear Roy, you're now a strong and true guardian angel to us all. Que descanses en paz, "Nino Ro"... Lydia aka "Nina Edie"
