Thank you Roy.

For staying calm when things were frantic, imparting wisdom when needed

For finding humor in situations that were overwhelming, providing a manageable perspective

For creating organization in chaos, rendering it workable

For being patient with those of us who lagged far behind in necessary knowledge, granting us permission to learn and grow, without feeling we had to be perfect

For creating and sharing that necessary knowledge, affording anyone the opportunity to have that same knowledge

I am so glad that I had the opportunity to learn from you. You made a mark on this world - you helped a lot of people, who helped a lot of people, and on and on.

Thank you Roy.

To those of you left behind, my prayers and good wishes are with you.
