Sharron, Angela and Michael,
We are so sorry for your loss. Roy was a friend we cherished when we lived next door. Of course, I wish we have visited more often. His painting was a gift and he shared (tryed to teach me) his techniques with me, which I never mastered as well as he did. A talent like his can’t be taught! We will miss him, just knowing he was there ready for a visit anytime.
We are crushed at the news of his passing.
Much love to his family and grandsons, we know he adored you all because he was a man who expressed his love for his family… and friends. Which we were proud to be.
