Roy was a fairly new resident at our independent living community. Everybody loved Roy. He enjoyed a good meal, good conversation and laughing. He constantly shared the delicious food that his family brought him. I know I enjoyed lots of great treats he shared with me. I miss seeing Roy coming down the hallway to breakfast each morning. Our community is not the same without him. He was loved by all. RIP Roy. It was a pleasure knowing you.
