Remembering Roy on his motorcycle at my mothers house most Sunday’s stopping by to see my Brother Bill and head out for rides. Big smile and riding in the wind . You will be missed.

I remember when I was small seeing Roy come by with his motorcycle. Seeing his big smile and laugh. Then Bill and him taking off for rides. I remember Billy talking about their rides down south on mountain roads . May you both enjoy riding in the sunshine and feeling the wind.

To Matthew and family: We were saddened to hear that your dad died. He was a good neighbor to us for many years when we lived next door on Glyn Drive. Duane always enjoyed talking with Roy, and he always spoke kindly to our children. They looked forward to the special Halloween treats he used to prepare for all the neighborhood trick-or-treaters each year. Vanessa loved playing with you, Matthew, when you were little, and now she lives next door in our old house. Know that we are sorry for your loss, and pray that you keep in touch with your father’s family. Hope to see you and your mom sometime. Love, Duane and Sheryl Roche
