Dear Sarah and Laura,
My deepest condolences. I will always keep many find memories of your Dad whether that be playing with the GI Joe figures in the attic, New Years Eve dinners on Magnolia with my grandparents and Mom or simply glass bottles of Pepsi. Roy was always very kind and generous and will be greatly missed.

Sarah & Laura , my deepest sympathy on the loss of your Father. Roy was a great man who loved his family and friends. I have many fond memories of the good times your Mom and Dad had with my parents. All the fun times at fish lake beach and all the good times just hanging out with them and the many many lobster dinners at my parents house on New Year’s Eve. They are all together up there and I’m sure having many laughs and recalling many fond memories. Love Gail
Sara and Laura,
I was very saddened to learn of the death of your father. He was truly a wonderful and humorous man. I enjoyed the times we were able to see each other. My sincere condolences to all of you.
We just heard about Roy’s passing. Sorry we weren’t able to be there. We all wanted you to know you are in our thoughts and prayers. If you need anything don’t hesitate to ask.
To the family, so sorry for your loss. Uncle Roy was my Godfather. I do not remember much about him. I spent time at the Granny’s farm as a young girl with my cousins.
I have some pictures of him and his brothers George and my dad Roger.
God bless you all and know that he comforts you at this time.
