Roy's passing is obviously a deep loss for so many and in so many ways. And he has left so much for us all.
I am one of many people who came to rely on Roy through Person Centered Tech (PCT) to be able to have my business. Which means to be able to serve others. Although I only knew Roy through Webinar Land and his PCT work, the way that he related to us all was so welcoming, encouraging, warm and inclusive that I experience PCT as a community with Roy at the center.
Roy will always be a mentor to me. Probably not a surprise to those who knew Roy well, when I heard of Roy's transition, I found my grief not only to be that of losing a dedicated professional in our field who I respect and admire, but also the grief of losing a friend.
Reflecting on Roy's service, generosity, kindness, expertise, wisdom and (yes!) humor inspires me to pass what I can of his legacy on to others.
My deepest condolences to Roy's family, dear friends and PCT colleagues.
