I talked with Roy about a week ago-He was looking for alum. valve covers for his Sons 65 Riv. He sounded in good health and in good spirit. He was a GREAT GUY and I always looked forward to seeing him at the Nationals. HE WILL BE MISSED BY MANY! Dick Sweeney ,San Diego

The Buick Board members are saddened with the news of Roy's passing. From the time I first asked for Roy's help (for the Columbus National) to the time he asked for my help for the Buick Foundation, he has been a great friend and a great support.<P>He will be miseed.<P>Jeffrey R. Brashares

I met Roy at the Lisle Meet in '95, the first one I drove to in my '55 Special. He became a good friend at that Meet, which was a superb one, thanks to Roy and his colleagues, and I looked forward to seeing him at every National after that. I'm happy I was able to see and speak with him just three weeks ago in Richmond. Roy was such a fine human being. I hope that when it's time for me to go, I can be compared favorably to Roy. Roy was a man as good as a Buick!

I've said it before, It's the the cars that bring us <BR>together but the people make it all worthwhile...and Roy was<BR>one of those people!<BR>I first met Roy at the meet in Phoenix...I was introduced<BR>by Jim George while I was detailing my car for the show.<BR>I proceeded tell and show both of them all of the bad<BR>points on the car only to find out later that Roy was<BR>one of the judges in my class! I still got an award as good <BR>or better than expected but Roy never let me forget it!<BR>I always looked forwaard to seeing him at the national meets<BR>to talk cars, tell lies and see what kind of mischief he had <BR>been up to (Example: on the way to the meet in Plano he ran out <BR>or gas in his 55 Century after nearly 400 miles on a tank of gas<BR>...just call AAA and keep rolling...he didn't drive slow either<BR>since he got a ticket in Plano 65 in a 35)<BR>In Richmond he was his old self greeting me and others at the front <BR>door of the hotel on thursday and saying goodbye on sunday.<BR>We did have a serious conversation about his sick pet...he said he was<BR>afraid to call home fearing bad news.<BR>A gentle giant who will be missed!!<P>Willie
