Tracy:

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I'm so sorry I didn't hear until now. It's a wonderful feeling to KNOW you were loved, and to have loved, while he was alive. He'll be forever in your memory and in your heart...and that's what matters.

May he rest in peace and watch over you now.

With my love,
Stephanie

Daddy, I miss you so bad! I know you're watching down on me and Wayne and I hope we have made you proud. There are so many things that I want to tell you but in my heart I know you already know them all. I know you loved me more than anyone else in the world and it's hard to imagine the rest of my life without you.

I've always been Daddy's girl and you'll always be my hero! I love you Daddy!

Love you always - your Brat!
Tracy

It's not often one meets a 'true' brother - one with such an outstanding heart - one with a certain bravado that made him a person we all loved to be around - one with an ever present smile when telling the latest biker story we all knew was probably only half true - - - and let's not forget the infamous cigar that was always there. It will be our great loss not to see him riding Road Captain of his chapter as they ride thru our lives - - but is should be somewhat comforting to know he soon will most likely be Road Captain of the local Sky Riders Chapter up in Heaven. You were one of a kind, Brother of mine, and I'll miss you forever. May God bless you and keep you close by his side.
Your friend, and BMC brother - forever -

Roy will be missed! He always had a smile from the beginning of the workday to the end. I enjoyed working with him at Richmond Clarklift.
