Gary & Lori Roy
Dad, (Ripper),
We will miss you dearly and will hold our memories of you close to our hearts. Lori says she will remember all the hard work you put into building our beautiful stone walls and especially the two flowers beds. You cheering at Meg’s many cross country, track meets and soccer games is what she feels she will miss most. Nick is proud of what you taught him about stone work and the time spent together on projects around our yard. And finally Dad, I will miss our times together talking and just knowing I could call you for anything and you would be there for me. R.I.P. Dad and watch over us until we meet again. We love you! Gary, Lori , Nickolas, and Maegan.

Deb and Gary:
While I never met your Dad, I know he must have been a great and gentle man. Having raised the two of you is all the proof one needs. I just lost my Dad in July, so I can relate to your grieving. While it never will go away, the sorrow does lessen as time passes.
With fond regards,
Craig and Carl
