You are so right. He taught me to never back down for what I believed in. I'm going to miss it more than words could describe. We all are

I miss you already. You have left me with many memories that make me smile. From getting me down from trees. To singing The Rolling Stones lyrics Particularly "she's my Little Rock and roll" with facial expressions that I can't forget. And most recent dancing to the Happy Birthday song for moms birthday. I'm sure you and Dad are getting a baseball team lined up in Heaven. Love you forever big brother!

It has been many years since we have spoken, but once I received the call many great memories flooded my thoughts. You were a good friend and a rock back in those days and I thank you for it. May you rest in peace and continue to smile down upon your family and friends. Steve

I worked with Roy for 20 years. We had some great times over the years. We had many discussions about many different subjects and many of them ended up with someone getting angry but it would never last. He was famous for throwing out some odd word or phrase he made up but swore was real. We called these "Royism". We were a work family. I will miss you so much buddy.

Junior was always my big brother in many ways .He was a avid flounder 🐟fisherman.Junior and Eddie was our top quarterbacks for football that we played every Sunday but it had to be around the Cowboys schedule🏈.We played tag but if you didn't tackle him he would say you didn't get him .That's why we called him the Snake ,his one and only play was go deep.It was always a fun time and we will miss him greatly .RIP big brother we love you 🙏🏻 Joey & Deb

Jr. was competitive, outspoken, and had the ability to motivate you to be your best. To WIN! He never backed down and always stood for what he believed. Especially when it came to the Cowboys! I learned a lot from Jr. through the years. I think we all did. He taught me lessons that will stick with me for life. Although he has gone to be with the Lord, his legacy will live on, through us. Jr. we will truly miss you.

I loved coach Roy. He coached me in Pee Wee baseball in 1986 and later coached me in Pony 1993. I'll miss him. Coach Roy and "Pop" were fixtures in the community. Rest in peace coach Roy
