We sure enjoyed meeting Roy many years ago. We always thought he was just a grumpy old fart until we got to talking and laughing with him. He was a staple around the White Lake area and he will be missed. Bruce & Diane Hietpas
Lots of fond memories of Roy and his good friend Tommy Waters tipping a few beers and having great conversations. I am sure they are up above enjoying more stories. He will be missed. White Lake won't be the same without his friendly face. Chuck Waters and Sue Hawley
