Roy moved around often through his childhood with his father being a Preacher. Roy followed in his

Roy will always be remembered for his big, friendly laugh that could light up a room. His sense of humor
helped everyone feel welcome. Roy was truly an inspiration to us all as he fought though many different
illnesses in his last years of life, and he never let it dim his smile or cool his handshakes.
