Roy was one of the most thoughtful men I have ever known. His kindness and gentle nature inspired me for over 37 years. Most of the lives Roy touched will never be recorded here or anywhere else but in their hearts and Roy's good works will be known only by God. Thank you for being my friend, Roy, and I pray you rest in the peace you truly deserve. God bless and keep you, Mary, and your family.
With much love and respect,
Steve Lewis
