My heart goes out to the family. It’s so difficult to lose a parent!! But I know that Roy is perfectly well in the arms of Jesus now.
You felt the love and Godly spirit every time you were in Roy’s presence. Friendly, kind and very pleasant. Loved his gentle and calming smile. I know his family will miss him very much. We are thankful for the skills he and Rob Brockman taught our son, Brian. Blessings, condolences, and loving thoughts and words for Roy’s family.
