Beate and I extend our sincere condolences to Aunt Pat, Greg, Ty and their family. We are saddened to hear of his passing but understand he has eternal joy now. As I read through the obituary, I didn't realize how large his family has become, he must have enjoyed spending time with all his grandchildren making great memories with them. I only have good memories of Uncle Roy in that he was very much like his mother's spirit and likeness, always caring and kind to everyone. I still remember to this day my last visit with him and the words he spoke to me. I am sure of this, if there ever were any of my uncles to greet me on the other side...it would be Roy.
