I had the privilege of working for Mr. Roy in the late 60's & 70;s.  He had the sharpest wit, and sales regime of any person I have ever known.  I know that the successes I have had was partially attributed to Mr. Roy.  He assembled a great team of associates and sales people - was it easy?  By no means but he rewarded your success.  Our industry lost a great one!  

Roy, sorry to hear about your dad.  Thoughts and prayers to all your family, especially your mom.  It sounds like their bond held strong over the many years and that is extremely rare.  He never let me forget about that quarter I owed him for the putt at the old Richland CC.  No telling how much interest he was up to on that debt!

Roy, My heart goes out to you!  I know it hurts to lose someone so close and especially at this time of year.  He was a remarkable man and will live on in all that he taught his children! My prayers are with you and the family.

Just remember that Daddy Roy still lives on in all the people he touched. What a full and remarkable life he lived, Judy.

Our sincerest condolences on the loss of your father.  I know it will leave an emptiness in your heart...I lost my mother back in February.  Rick Woodward (Duffy Region)

Deepest Sympathy.....I began reading the Obituaries after my elderly mother passed away.  As I read Mr Matlock's, I felt compelled to reach out and share thoughts.   I felt overwhelmed as I read of such a man.   Wow, what a blessing he must have been to all who knew him.  I have read an abundance of Positive/Motivational books and found myself clipping his obituary, this simplifies them all!  Thank you for sharing his Life.  May The LORD bless you and keep you, may he bestow peace and provide all your needs.  Kathy. Goodlettsville TN

Roy, it appears your dad was a treasure.  He was likely the envy of many folks who would give anything to have a Godly, dignified, committed humble father.  By all we're reading, he was a terrific family role model.  "A man who loved the Lord" tells us he's presently rejoicing with his Savior Jesus.  No eye has seen nor ear has heard what Jesus has prepared for those who love the Him!  In the meantime, we will be praying for the extended family as you all come together to celebrate Roy Sr's life and mourn his passing.  
With great compassion and sincerity,
The Mike Sharpe Family

Joyce Im sorry for you and your family loss . May god bless you at this difficult time.  Never had the good fortune of meeting him but If he was anything like you I know he was a great man. God bless you...

My deepest sympathy and prayers go out to the Matlock Family. I always enjoyed listening to his wisdom and entertaining commentaries at the REIN meetings. God Bless.

I have always enjoyed doing Mr Matlock's work on his rental property and his home.  He was very appreciative of all I did for him and I appreciated his business for many years.

Martha, I am so sorry for the loss of your husband.

David and I are so sorry for the loss of your dad.  I pray your precious memories will help the hurt in your heart.  May God bless and watch over you at this time and days to come

May God be with the Matlock family through this difficult time.

I was very sad to hear of your loss. Being with the Matlocks is so much a part of my past. I spent almost all of my time at your home when I was growing up with Mickie. I remember the Sunday afternoon drives to look at trucks. Mr. Matlock was a big strong man that I looked up to. Although I haven't seen most of you in many years...you have always been in my heart. My prayers are with all of you.

Roy, We are so sorry for your loss. I know how hard it is to lose your father. May God bless you and your family.

Mrs. Matlock, Roy, Joyce, Judy, Mickie & Bill; I was one of the many I'm sure that had the pleasure of knowing Mr. Matlock. His wisdom will live on thru those of us that had the opportunity to share time with him. We are all sorry for your loss.
