Sorry that I havent gotten to know the extended family. My prayers are with you and the family.
My sympathy goes out to Roy’s family at this time of loss.
Lee Roy:
We will miss you at Pizza Hut. You were always a good worker and dedicated employee. We appreciated how much you did for us by coming in to make the pizzas (the night before & doing the clean up) when we had school lunch the next day.

James,
Hey, i am sorry to have learned of this loss. I remember when i was very young and we would go to Roy and Gramps’ house and look at all of the watches. I hope everything is ok!
Love,

I,m glad he finaly learned to be a good husband to his last wife, for her sake. Lord knows he was neither a good husband, FATHER, nor provider for his family in his younger years.
