So sorry to hear about your passing. You were a great guy, super cool Uncle, and a fantastic Brother to Gary. We really enjoyed your visits and your witty remarks! Also going to miss tinkering with old tractors with you! You will be deeply missed, and we'll be praying for comfort for your family. The Shoup family!
Gosh… I will miss him for sure. Him and Janet was a big part of our life 30+ years
Prayers for strength for the families
I’m so sorry to hear of Roy's passing. I knew Roy a long time as I worked with Roy and Jan at the NADEP. They were just great people. Roy was just a fine gentleman and a “great guy”. My deepest condolences and sympathies to his family at this time. John Zulich and family
