His dad just died a week or two ago, and I wrote Roy a PM about it. He wrote me back with a really sweet note. I wish I had kept it. I am sure he knew he was on his own way out.
It sounds funny to say, but he kicked it old school. He worked his ass off. He smoked like crazy, even after fights with cancer, diabetes and heart attacks -- but came back from illness to run a half marathon just last month. He was loyal to his family. He was loyal to his church and found strength in it -- but never seemed preachy to me! He liked punk and lived on a farm.
Quality guy.
