Patsy, Jeannette and I pray for your well being at this most difficult of times.We didn't know you very well but remember the two of you as neighbors on Danner Street. I knew Roy way back when he had Latham's Auto. He was one of the most honest businessmen I've ever known and became a trusted friend. He had a soft and kind word for all the people in his life. I am certain Roy rests in peace.

Rest in love Mr Roy. I met my husband, William, at your shop. You were like a father to him. When we were newlyweds and became new parents, you helped us more than you know and we are forever grateful.
