So sorry to hear about Roy. He was a great man as we would set on our porch we would see him go by on the four wheeler with the grandkids. You could tell them grandkids made his world go round. Him and Tammy had the love that most would love to have. He will be missed.

Words can not come close to what I feel bout Roy's untimely passing. It was no secret how much he loved his wife Tammy, his kids and grandkids. his dedication shown in his works and the videos he often shared on the facebook, and I always enjoyed shooting the bull with him. Norma and I will be praying for you all!
