Roy was a bright spot in the local HAM world. I always was glad to see him, whenever.

I met Roy about a year ago when I first joined the Mount Baker Amateur Radio Club. Whenever I had any questions, he always took time to help. He was always a straight shooter, never sugar coated anything, and usually gave you his opinion, whether you liked it or not. I loved that about him. Plus, his sense of humor always made me laugh.
Even though I didn’t know him long, he definitely touched my life for the better. Rest in peace my friend, you will surely be missed.
My thoughts go out to you and your family,

(John 14:18) I will not leave you bereaved. I am coming to you.
(Revelation 21:4) And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”
