Thank You!
Thank you for your thoughts and memories. It's hard to believe he will have gone home 3 years ago June 9th. That's always a day I will remember.
What would I do without you all! I know Roy is still alive in friends like you and in my heart and memories.
I love you all!!

I just want to add that I think about Roy every day. He was one of the kindest people to me on the forum, ever. When I was getting a bit of a hassle for "coloring outside the lines" Roy was instead encouraging and told me to never fold - just be myself. He also taught me more comprehensible music theory than anyone in history, asking (and accepting) nothing in return.
The definition of a gentleman. Thanks Roy!

Thank you both for your kind words.
I'm prejudice of coarse but he was a gentleman to everyone he met and always tried to help everyone he could. He went homme 3 years ago on the 9th of this month and yet it seems only like yesterday to me! Our 25th wedding anniversary would have been the 30 of this month. I still miss him and always will.
God's Blessings to all of you who stay in touch with me and remember him.
