Roy was ahead of me at USC, but I remember him well. He was a tough football player, but a kind person. I last saw Roy in the Lettermen's Lounge before a game recently. We had a short conversation, along with other old friends. I'm glad we were able to do that, not knowing it would be the last time. I am sorry to hear of his passing and offer my condolences to his family and friends.
