My heart is absolutely broken. Roy was someone who was always up for a good chat. He loved talking about his children and grands and wanted to know about mine as well. Tanner, I knew about all your games your batting average etc. He was so proud of you. And all of his family. I hadn’t seen him in a while and missed him because I retired. I’m truly sorry for the entire family I can’t imagine the loss y’all are feeling. I’ll be praying for you all.

I first met Roy in 1982 when I started to work at GDX. Little did I know that 2 years later I would marry into the family. Roy was a good brother-in-law and friend. He was always joking around i think it's a Ring thing. Words can't even express just how heart broken we are. Know that we love all of you guys and you are in our prayers. Gail and I are here for you guys.
Love Gail and Gwen Ring.

I am so very sorry to hear of Roy’s passing. Roy was always someone I loved to see down the hall at work, because I knew it was going to be a fun chat. He loved asking about my kids and telling me stories of his. He was a true joy to be around. I will be thinking and praying for all of your family, friends, and his co-workers that loved him dearly. â¤ï¸

My deepest condolences to the family. I met Roy while I was working at WRHS. We discovered that we shared family (his brother was married to my aunt and is my uncle). After that, he stopped me and talked every time I saw him. Oh, how he loved to talk. He was an excellent worker and always went the extra mile. He was proud of the job he did. He was a kind man. His presence will be missed.

I have so many fond memories growing up around Uncle Roy and the boys. The last time I saw him, mom and I were at the hospital visiting a friend and had gone down to the cafeteria to eat when he saw us. Of course he sat down and joined us. He was laughing and cutting up with us the whole time. I'll always remember him like that. I'm so sorry to my family for such a horrible loss. Please know we love you guys and you are in our prayers.

Jeanette, please know I am praying for you and your family! I am so sorry you are going through this difficult time!
I was blessed to see Roy at the office, he was always our Sunshine on Saturday mornings. I was so thrilled when I found out the two of you were married! I loved you so much for being a wonderful teacher for Coy, then knowing Roy was your other half let me know you were loved and taken care of after loving the children all day!
What a life you have had with him, a blessing for sure. Try to remember all the good times and lean on your family and friends during this time! I loved you both. Call me anytime 870-307-4360

Uncle Roy, I wished I had hugged you and told you I love you, last month when we visited for the last time. I will miss you. I will always think you every time I see Uncle Troy. I believe you will always be a part of Troy.
You raised 3 wonderful boys.
Hopefully, Thelma will now know which twin you are and call you by name instead of calling you Twin. 😃
I know you are in a better place. I know you are having a wonderful reunion in heaven. Tell my dad and Gary I love and miss them.
I am sitting here thinking about all of the family that’s already there. You really are having a big reunion. That will give us comfort and make us wish we were there taking part of that reunion instead of being in this chaotic world.
Until we meet again, Love Janet
