Spent many years flying with Roy to Central and South America. It was always a
pleasure to be part of his crew as he was relaxed, sweet and efficient. I have
fond memories of the good old days. Kitty Ellis Dzimidas
Dearest Marale and Larry,
I was so sad to read the Obituary and learn of Your Dad’s passing. He was often on my mind and will continue to be in my heart along with the many wonderful childhood memories that you all were so much a part of. I was in NY attending the graduation of my youngest and was catching up with mail, email and newpapers when I came across the notice. I would love to hear from you so please call when you can so that we can stay in touch. I really could not say it any better than others who have posted notes on Roy’s tribute wall. But just to reiterate, he was such a kind, loving, compassionate man and a very good neighbor and friend to my family. I know that my father and mother were very fond of both of your parents and I hope that our Dad’s are now reunited.
Sending love and light.

A Memory.
I first met Roy and Bea at Bird Bowl a few years back when I was arbitrarily put on their bowling team, the Wrens. As captain of the team he and Bea welcomed this fledgling Wren who hadn't bowled in over 30 some years and with a very low average. Roy, with his patience, kindness and coaching skills taught me much and I improved. I was saddened when it became obvious that he would not be returning for the rest of the winter season but hopefully for the summer. This was not to be.
Say Hi to Bea for me, my captain, friend and coach. You were missed during your absence and will continue to be missed.
Heartfelt condolences to the family and his son Larry whom I met only briefly when he joined the team.
Blessing and peace,
Joan Parker
We are so sorry to hear about Roy's passing. We were lucky that he was a part of our family for so many years until my mother's passing. Roy and my mother Bernice Hensley, had a love affair that kept them both young and vibrant. Their love for bowling is what brought them together and I'm sure they will reunite for a good competitive game!! He was a loving and gentle man and we have many wonderful memories of him. With all our love,The Goodman Family
With heartfelt condolences, remembering you Roy in our minds and in our hearts, Safe Journey my friend.

What a gem of a guy. It was always a delight to work with him. He was the essence of Pan Am, and his memory will be with us forever.
