He loved and adored his family and enjoyed spending time with them, he cherished every memory he made with them. Roy was an amazing cook and enjoyed cooking for his family, but especially loved frying fish for his mother.  He was a man of his word, if Roy told you he was going to do something, that was final, and he expected the same in return.
