To all the families of Roy,
My sincere condolences to each of you. He surely will be missed. He was a happy go lucky personality and always was so fun to be around. Her heart aches, and there will be a hole forever, but hold onto all the loving memories that he brought to each of you, and may that comfort each of you in his very own way, and let them wonderful memories be restored in your heart, forever.
Love Gwen Goplin

I'm glad I found you both several years ago while we were in Florida. Many miles away from our old home town of Wonewoc.
Sympathy and prayers.
