He was a very loving man who was so proud of his sons. Corey, I am so sorry you are faced with this. Please remember how much your dad loved you.

My sincere condolences.
Thank you to all the first responders. Roy had many friends and many of them were there at the scene. There is no way to explain how I feel but I thank you very much. Joe McCurdy (our very close friend and neighbor) Mike Lambert (our very good friend and one that we called “our Son”) helped me more today than they will ever know. Just seeing John Cardwell, who calls me Aunt Chuck, helped me so much. My cousin Dwynette Thomas was right by my side for hours. Thank you all so very much.
