Royce, like his father, was a great man in both the business world and in his personal world. It was my pleasure to work with him for many years.

JD and family I am very sorry to hear about the loss of Royce. He will always be remembered as a great man. I always enjoyed getting calls from Royce just to say he saw a car and thought about me and just wanted to share it. It wasn't always about business when he called. I have always thought a lot of Royce and he will surely be missed by many. You our in my thoughts and prayers.
