We had some good times and I’ll never forget you my friend. God has you in His loving arms!

I am already missing my neighbor. I am missing him on his porch waving and flirting when I ride by and us having a laugh about it. I will miss his protection of me and my family and his genuine friendly ways. To his family I send my condolences and pray that you keep his memories alive and close to you and that you all stay close to each other.
Joe Love
I want The Family, special love ones and friends to know that I share your grief. Roy was a very special friend, who loved people and life. He often said, “you have to live life, like you love it”. When asked how he was doing, he would reply ” Living a Dream”. May he rest in peace!
