Roy was a super friend to my dad, who carpooled to work at the FAA where they both worked. Roy had a way of making people laugh. He was honest forth right, and a Joy to be around. I will never forget his laugh! Praying that the Lord will deliver you from Cancer! There are miracles everywhere! I will miss Roy. I can see my Dad, and him playing cards ! I hope to see you again my friend! In Jesus name Amen!
