Roy was a old friend, we lived on the same street growing up and did a lot together. We joined the Navy on the buddy system we were very close back in those days. I was the best man in his wedding and watched him start a family. Time has a way of separating people. Later in life we were co-workers as well. It breaks my heart that I’ll never get to fish, golf or just hang out. My prayers go out to his wife’s, daughters, brother and sister. I will miss my old friend. R.I.P. brother.
