Thanks for all of the great carpenter work you did and the fun we shared as neighbors and friends. Victory is now yours.
Roy and I shared the same address during our early childhood days. Walked to school with our other neighbors. We had a ball in the alley behind our house,the Dumas 's,we all grew up and left the neighborhood,I got married with a lot of our other classmates and moved away. Those days were cherished, coming back home seeing childhood friends were the greatest times in our lives. God bless, Roy,rest in peace 🙏
Roy and I were neighborhood buddies ALL of the time that we both lived on the Westside of Port Arthur until graduation from Lincoln High School at which time I left for Howard University.
Roy's uncle and aunt were my next door neighbors and Roy and I were classmates, therefore we were in-touch even after Roy's journey to California because some 30 years later we set-up computer systems in his mansion on the East Side of Port Arthur, and when I became President of the Class of 1958, we consulted frequently and our friendship became even more beautiful as we established a tribute to Adam Earnest Simpson; our local military hero/classmate.
I can't point to a single item to make the "memory-point" of this lifetime of friendship items of friend, family, neighbor, classmate, buddy . . . Peace and blessings, Roy.
John
