I was so sad to hear about Uncle Roy’s passing. I had the great honor and privilege of have lunch with him just a few weeks before his passing. Uncle Roy was always such a great example to me and I will miss him dearly.
Thank you, Brenda. It was a shock, and he put up a good fight, but was ready for his next adventure at the end. I know there was a lot of relatives waiting for his arrival and that are probably still reminiscing about days of old. He will be missed!!
