Roy was a very nice guy and a great Family man . He loved his Grandkids dearly. He was a very smart man in his dealings with cars n trucks. We will miss him .
Roy had a very good spirit about him that made everyone he met feel relaxed and at ease. You could see and feel the love he had for his family and they had for him. Rest in peace Roy we love you.
I just learned that Roy has passed. I met Roy and Joan many years ago when Roy and Ron Spiegelman worked together. Roy and Joan were a great couple!
