It was sad news for John when I received the notice of Roy's death. We knew he had several health issues but a surprise when it's in print. John & Roy have know each other since grade school. Great team working on cars in those high school years. We have great memories playing cards with Roy and Dian before they moved to Arkansas. We plan to attend the funeral Monday. Prayers for the familly and friends. kk
