I’m terribly sad to hear of Roy’s passing. He will be missed. In my mind he will be remembered as a kind and generous instructor in jewelry arts. He was a master of chain maille—design and construction. How blessed I am to have taken two of his last few classes. He will live on in many many hearts and for generations of those wearing his inspired jewelry.

I met Roy about 3 years ago through CMGS. He was an amazing and patient teacher. I enjoyed his classes and his wonderful personality. He will be missed by many.

I had the pleasure of knowing Roy for many years .... he was a gentleman and one of the kindest persons you would ever meet. I was friends to him and his wife Barbara and I feel warm inside that they are together (again) enjoying each other as they had for many many years. God bless Roy and Barbara and their families.
