Condolences

I met Roy at my his sister and my close friend Joan & Doc Winters Thanksgiving Family Dinner. He was always the fun personality with a leadership/organizer vibe. Moving swiftly between the kitchen to the dining room and back. Always helping his sister and everyone make sure everything was all arranged well and helping to keep the ball rolling to everyones enjoyment. I was making gravy & dressing and he would check to see "is that gravy ready Gwen? - cause you know we cannot have turkey and dressing without the gravy 😊" And always giving a positive nod to let everyone know things were on point. My sincere condolences to the family. To Sherrie, Joan and of course to his lovely wife and children. My love and prayers are with you during this time. May your happy memories of Roy help you with the sorrow. Praying God will help see you through this. - Sincerely,Gwen Satterfield
