Vivian and family, I can't tell you how heartbroken I was to hear about Roy. It was such a joy to get to know you both during our Motor-homing days. I just thought so much of you both and how well you complemented each other. You seemed so truly happy, and that is hard to find. May the good Lord give you some comfort in this great loss. All my love and sympathy, Linda

I am sad to hear about Roy. I worked with him at SWBC for some time. I haven't seen him in years; however, I would recognize that hair and those eyes anywhere! He was a super nice guy and I loved that contagious laugh! Prayers go out to his family and friends.

To you Vivian, and to you 'kids', my heart aches for you at this moment. 'Chunk' was a gracious and loving big brother who was both tolerant and patient with me during our growing up years. He never changed, just as gracious, tolerant and patient as he always was. From his flowing mane to his wry smile, he was always a great friend to me and my family. We will miss you greatly 'Chunk', but we will see you again in heaven. To those left behind, keep your chin up and your eyes on the Lord, for He is a very present help in time of trouble. Bobby Joe and Joyce loves all of you.

There are no words to express this loss. Always a smile on his face and a jolly laugh! From childhood to adult, I always loved seeing and talking to him. Vivian and children know I loved him as an Uncle. If I can help with anything please let me know. My heart is heavy with grief and telling Daddy (James) wasn't easy. Prayers to you all.
