We are so saddened by your loss and can't believe he is gone. We will miss him.

Roy, we had many memories together in Park Ridge...probably too many to list. Like the many times I blamed you for splashing turpentine in Karen's eyes...yes, I did it but they all believed me! How about that party you took me to when I was like 16 and your friend was teaching me how to use a butterfly knife??? No sooner did you say, "If she cuts herself I'll be very annoyed" that's exactly what happened!!! I can go on and on with the memories, years worth. You were a great cousin and we had such good times growing up. Love you...

Dear Donna and family, I'm sorry for your loss. I have many fond memories of our times in Park Ridge. Craig was always smiling and laughing. We had great times hanging out down by the pool. My prayers are with you during this difficult time. Lee

Dear Tracie, Mr. and Mrs. Craig and family,
I was saddened to hear about RC. He had always been very special to Siehsta and myself. Tracie we had good times together through thick and thin. He was one of Siehsta's close friends.And, yes I remember the times with the snowmobiles at your parents house upstate @ windam.
When I think of Siehsta, I think of RC, Mike and the Schneider crew.
I am truly sorry about your loss.
I'll call soon.

Dearest Craig family:
You folks and Roy were always and extended family to me. I am shocked and sad for the lose of Roy. He was more than a high school friend and more like a brother. We did so much together over those years, The classes, the friends, the cars...we did it all together.
Tracie & Charissa, no one knew Roy better than me in high school. I know you have lost a great man. My prayers are with you.
Mom, Dad, Donnna, Missy & Jenni...I love you all dearly and pray for you all everyday
With my deepest Sympathy;
Mike Taylor Sr. (aka Magoo)

Roy.. God blessed me with the best brother in the world. Your kindness, love and support at all times will be remembered forever. I pray my sons grow up to be half as loving, giving and hard working of a man as you were. I am missing you so bad right now. Thank you for the pennies. They make me smile everytime. I know you are now my guardian angel....goodbye Roy until I see you again. I will love you always....Love your sister, Jenny.

Do not question GOD, thatâ??s what they say,
But someone needs to explain why my brother Roy was taken away.
You did so much for me and I didnâ??t do much for you,
I hope you will forgive me for the things I didnâ??t do.
I sit here wondering what am I to do,
There is no one that will ever be able to take the place of you.
The boys are blessed with their Uncle Royâ??s eyes,
Beautifully brown, filled with love, adventure and surprise.
Please rest in peace Roy, you worked so hard - we want you to listen,
But, knowing you, youâ??re probably building GOD a brand new kitchen.
You are in a much better place now Roy, all your pain has gone away,
Just remember we will all reunite on the other side one sweet day.
Love you forever and always,
Your Baby Sister,
Missy

Hi Tracey, I just wanted to extend my sympathy to you and Carrisa. There are no words that can describe how you must feel. I just lost my husband, but we had 40years together. I know that the hurt will get easier, bu never go away. Please let me know haw you guys are doing and if there is anything I can do, please lt me know. Love you all and please give my Carris a kis for me. I think about you guys often. Love Mrs. Denoble as you always called me.

I knew Roy as a tough guy with a heart of solid gold. If you were part of his family or a friend, he'd protect and defend you without hesitation!
Always the daredevil and risk taker - The first time i met Roy, he did a flip off the Park Ridge High School Sign and as a bonus he had some fireworks for more entertainment.
Did you ever know anyone that owned as many cars as Roy? He loved to take them apart and put them back together so they became faster and louder. And Yes, they were the fastest and loudest in town.
Before he got his drivers license, Roy would hop on his bicycle and ride to Ramsey to visit his friends and he'd do his crazy bike stunts and make us crack up.
Roy was always so fun and loved to tease you to get a laugh. Thank you for being so REAL to everyone. You were one of a kind! My prayers go out to you and your family. xxooxxoo

Tracie,Thank you so much for bringing Roy (and Charissa) into my life. I am better for it and I truly love Roy as he loved me. This was my first birthday in 9 years that he did not get to call me and say "I love you Mom" "Happy Birthday". Even on 9/11/01 he got through to say it to me.
I have been amazed at the friendships that you guys have developed - I will miss Roy and help you to keep his memory alive for Charissa so that she continues to love him also. I love you guys - (wassup?) Love Mom

I AM SO SORRY TO HEAR OF ROYS PASSING. I AM A FRIEND OF JEN LEONARD'S AND I REMEMBER HE USED TO VISIT CURRY COLLEGE. HE WAS SUCH A FUN PERSON AND I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER HIM. I AM SO SORRY ABOUT YOUR LOSS.

happy "early" birthday!! i hope your having a restful time up there. you sure needed it. i love you roy and i miss you. i just wanted to let you know im still thinking of you. love jenny.

I am so sorry to you and your family for your loss. Roy was a good person in our younger days. It has been many of years that I have seen him. By seeing his smiling face, it hasn't changes at all. God gave you all a incredible angel with you all at all times. I know it is hard loosing someone you love, I lost both of my parents at a young age, but they are within me which gives me so much strength to be stronger everyday and keep a positive attitude on life. My parents raised my sister she is mentally challenged and I take care of her for 13 yrs now and she made me even stronger because we all have the same blood. So it is ok to grieve any way that helps you and your family get through this time. Missy if you and your sisters need to talk just get in touch with me. I understand how you feel. It is very hard, just remember you don't have to let them go, you will see them in different ways in your life! love you all.
