He was a loving husband, dad, grandfather, great-grandfather, friend, and neighbor. Pa enjoyed his grand and great-grand babies most of all. Roy never met a stranger and anyone who knew him was truly blessed. He will forever be remembered by his funny phrases and jokes such as, “What did the fish say when he hit the wall? ….. Dam.”
