My condolences to the Majors family. RIP Royce
I can’t begin to tell you how sorry I was to hear about Royce’s death. My only real contact with him was seeing him with my nephew Todd at various times, but he always seemed like a very gentle and loving
spirit. Please know that all of you are in my thoughts and prayers. With my deepest sympathy,
Mary Thomsen
