Dear Donna and Family!   I was saddened to have read of Roy passing away!!!  Roy was truly a special and unique man!!!  I am so glad that I was able to meet and get to know the two of you!!!  I believe that both of you are the most kind, and caring people that I have ever known!!!  Roy will truly be missed by all that knew him or heard of his kindness and generosity!!!        I will never forget the memories and stories we shared!!!  Sadly; Dale Fillback, Sacramento, California.

The only thing I know of Roy is that he made Donna happy.  Donna and I were close in our youth and I was proud to be in their wedding party.  I will pray for Roy and the whole family.

Roy was an awesome man that helped me and my dad many times when I had problems with my car and my dad couldn't figure it out. He never asked for anything in return.  He was always so good and kind to all the kids that came over to play with his children.  A great neighbor and family, for sure.   My sincere deepest sympathy.

So sorry for your loss.                                                                                              May your memories guide you through this difficult time. 
Rest in Peace Roy. 



I have such fond loving memories of Roy he taught me a lot! How to change a tire, how to change the oil in a car and how to water ski are just a few things.  I know there are no words that can take the sadness away at this time but you all know that your Husband/Father's  Love was the deepest and he will be remembered by so many. They will share those Special Times with you now and in the future and those times will bring a smile, a tear or even a laugh as you also remember that day! He was Very Special Person whom I often thought about  over the years! My Deepest Sympathy for All of you! 

So many memories going to Aunt Maxine's and seeing Roy and Donna.  My Dad(Sam Jones) and all the family had great times and memories together.  I'm so thankful my dad and mom took me to IL all the time.  Miss the times of the past.  Prayers to the family.

I have known Roy ever since I became best friends with his daughter, Jody. We would always have fun aggravating each other. He had a nickname for me, “ Dingy”. And I would call him” Mr. Strick-Land.” 
I would come over and he’d still have on his work shirt with his name on it. It was one of those “ old timey”  mechanic shirts with the white oval  that had your name written in red cursive letters.....  
Roy would be sitting outside in a lawn chair, drinking a can of “Red White and Blue “ beer, and smoking a cigarette .......
Always a character.......
Always a great guy.........



I will always  our days of listen to Elvis and when we had the karaoke machine and sang Elvis songs. The days we worked together and ended each day with beer and great conversations.   smokin a cig and drinking beers on your patio. My heart is completely broken but I know i will see you again. Tell everyone hello I will see you on the other side pops! I love you as if you was my dad and learned a lot of great things from you that no book or school could ever a man. R.I.P.

We are so sorry for your loss. We are so happy that we were able to get to know your dad . He was a wonderful person and we feel so blessed to be a part of the family . We always look forward to your family get together’s and Mike and I enjoy talking to your mom and dad. Your dad had  such a good sense of humor . They would always make everyone feel so welcome in their home . Heaven has gained another angel and I know he is looking over all of you ! You are in our thoughts and prayers. 

Mr. Strickland I have never had the privilege of meeting you in person.  I have met your beautiful  kind hearted, compassionate, hard working baby girl Stacie.  I had the pleasure of being her manager for several years.  I have heard all about you from your daughter, she loved you so much and I know her heart is breaking right now for her daddy.  Please watch over her and your entire family from heaven above.   You are now her guardian angel.  Please take care of her because she is one special lady.
Rest In Peace,  Fly High Roy until you meet your family again.
