Sorry to hear of Bro. Roy's passing. We knew that he probably wouldn't wait long to go be with Mrs. Dorothy. They were such a blessing to us when we first got married and lived on the Wildcat Ranch. May God bless and comfort your family during the days ahead.

I worked with Roy Lee several years ago at International Shoe Company. We both loved to bird hunt and each of us had bird dogs. We went on some good hunts together.
