Today with a very heavy heart, Mike and I say good-bye to a great guy. Heaven gain an Angel! Mike worked with Roy for 16 yrs at Pier 1 Imports. I met Roy thru Mike and discovered he loved to have a frosty from Wendy's. I would surprise Roy picking up Mike's truck with a frosty in the parking lot, Roy would laugh and smile, as he loved Wendy's. A small token of kindness made his day. Roy was one of kind, extremely funny, great humor and loved his family. Roy will be missed by all that had the pleasure of crossing paths with him.
