It was a great pleasure to meet Roy. I enjoyed only a few conversations with him, but they were all great. May God bless Roy and his family.
Peggy, know that I am thinking of you and the family I was really shocked when I saw this . Love and Prayers ♥️♥️🙏🙏🙏🙏
I’m so sorry for your loss Peggy. I didn’t know he was so sick. Roy was a wonderful person.
I never met Roy in person but we played Words With Friends for many years. He was so devoted to his wife and family, and told me of the many cruises they shared. He told me about his illness and inquired on occasion about my family and my health. We missed him on WWF so I just searched and found this notice. My sincere sympathy to his beloved famiy and friends.
