Prayers and condolences to the family. I am so sorry for your loss. My dad, Emmett worked with him at FMC for many years.
I’ve lived next to Roy and Judy for 18 years – the best neighbors. I would occasionally catch Roy walking down the road in his cutoff jeans, tie dyed shirt, and tree branch walking stick and we’d always have a great conversation about his latest motorcycle adventures, or what he was working on at the house. He was a sweet soul, and will be missed. My condolences to the family.
Roy was the best neighbor you could ever have. Was always very friendly and would do anything to help. He will be missed for sure. Rest in Peace.
Dear Judy—so sorry to hear about Roy’s passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
