Thanks for doing this, Mark.
Yes, thank you. I did not even know that he had passed.
I knew Roy for about 11 years as we both belonged to the Golden Gate Lionel Railroad Club. He was a great guy and often helped so many members not only on our club but the Golden State Toy Train Operators and anyone that wanted to talk about Lionel, ERR, Marx, etc.
He belonged to many quartet Barbershop/Doo Wop groups. Roy sang with “The Barbershop Chorus” as well as “Sound Judgement” “The Golden Chords men.” “The Fault Line Chorus” and lastly “The Treble Makers.” Boy did he love to sing.
Radio Roy, as he was know by, had a love affair with Studebaker cars and repairing old car radios. He was a member of the Mid-Peninsula Old Time Car Club and the Sequoia Chapter of Studebaker Drivers Club he participated in many of their events.
Rest in peace Roy.
Ray
We'll miss RoyBoy, for sure. May perpetual light shine upon him.
Wow, that is sad news. I looked up to him, and appreciated him. I didn't know he had passed.
My condolences to his family and friends.
So sorry to hear.

Sorry to hear about Roy. I didn't know him personally but I remember seeing him here on the forum. My sincerest condolences to his friends and family.
Sad news indeed. My sincerest condolences to family and friends. I echo what Tom said above.
Ray thanks for sharing. The train stuff was obvious from the forum but singing and Studebakers I would never have guessed.

That's how I started speaking with RoyBoy ... when I showed a Studebaker truck model here. I really enjoyed our few interactions about different things. Such a nice guy! I wish I could have spent time with him in person.

We just lost one of the good ones.
May perpetual light shine upon you Roy.
