Great guy and family..Always fun to double date with. True athlete on our football team!
GOD BLESS,RIP!

MY FATHER WAS A GREAT MAN  && BY FAR THE BEST FATHER A CHILD COULD ASK FOR, HE WAS MY HERO && BEST FRIEND.  I MISS HIM SO MUCH BUT I KNOW THAT HE'S WATCHING OVER ME. I LOVE YOU DAD !!

Royce is greatly missed! He was always a part of every memory I had during school.
Royce became a life long friend to the very end of loss!
Anything he knew was needed, he was there trying to help!
He’s done many things for others and his heart was of love and giving.
But he never wanted to let anyone know of his kindness.
I’ll always remember him on the corner in Bordeaux down in the seat of his proudful car, always being Mr Cool. And he was.

Royce was a good friend and help me many times. Prayers for the family for your loss.

Royce was a great person. I met him through a couple friends my Jr year at Cumberland. He had  the fastest cars of anyone in Bordeaux. He was fun to be around and would help anyone who was in trouble. He will be missed by so many Cumberland friends. RIP sweet friend.  He knew more about cars than anyone I knew. Bettie. . 

Your big smile will be missed. Prayers for Sarah and Poppy, and all of your family. 

ROYCE ILL BE MISSED AT THE SHOP, WE SAT HERE LIKE WE DID ON THE CORNER.GREAT BUDDY WILL MISS HIM  SO MUCH BUT WONT FORGET HIM EVER. RIDE ON BROTHER!!!

Royce was first class, a really nice guy, always interesting and always pleasant. 

Royce will be sorely missed by me and many others.  He was always a fixture when we were growing up, and he was someone I looked up to.  Royce was always on "the corner", at a sporting event and attended our recent reunions faithfully - and he always had a smile and a kind word.  He had the best stories, and he treated me with respect.  He will not be forgotten.

We knew Royce for a few short years when we moved next door to him.  He was such a good neighbor.  He was kind and funny.  He spent Thanksgiving with us and  was an absolute delight.   We are going to miss  him so much.  

I will never forget Royce.  I'm 71 years old & we go back 48 years.  He broke my heart about  47 years ago but he did what he felt was best for me & my twins.

We remained Friends all these years.  He had a big heart & I will always remember that.

Royce was my friend since school, he worked for Johnny for several years.

He was a person who jumped in and helped anyone in need.

He helped me many times and I truly loved him and considered him a close friend.

So sorry for everyone’s loss
