My condolences to the family and friends of Roy. Having worked with Roy at the City Water Department for many years I thought of how I could best describe him and my first thoughts was he was a “man of good report”. (As I found upon research to come from Acts 6:3)
About 1968 I went to work with Roy and the late Allen Neal and over the years until his retirement I came to look at Roy as a standard and a roll model. He was a man of faith with strong convictions and opinions. We shared the same work ethics and got along well. To say he was a good man seems to fall short so I shall simply say, with fond memories, “he was a man of good report”.
