I had the pleasure of working with Roy for almost two years at the Wyndham. He had a kind heart, and always had an interesting tidbit of information or story to share. He was also one of the hardest workers. He was very dedicated to his job, truly a wonderful employee. I was lucky enough to live right up the street from Roy and often gave him rides to and from work.Anyone who knew Roy was touched by his sweetness. A wonderful man that will be missed very much by so many people. Thoughts and prayers are with his family.

To Roy’s Family, Please accept our deepest sympathy on Roy’s passing. We were both classmates of Roys and have fond memories of him. We got in touch with him several years ago and had dinner with him and caught up on our lives and memories of times in High School. Roy was a gentle spirit and we will hold him forever in our heart. He loved his family and was devastated when his Mom passed. May you all hold onto your memories of him. Rest gently, Roy. Love, David and Carrie

I have known Roy for many years and he was well liked, also will be sadly missed by many. He really liked Taylor Swift music also. I have enjoyed working with him and conversations we’ve had.
