Farewell, Roy
The McCoy’s are deeply saddened of Roy’s passing. My memories of summers at Buttonwood are rich with the Foremans. One wouldn’t want a better neighbor, especially at a summer place, than Roy. His humor, generosity, caring, and willingness to help is deeply appreciated. Roy had the quietest lawnmower in the park, powered by a washing machine motor; a perfect example of American ingenuity. I can envision Roy, in heaven, sharing stories, laughing & having a Good O’ time with Ben Parker and Bob Brock, (other close Buttonwood neighbors who have before him). May God Bless; give strength & comfort to Nancy, Lynn, Meghan, Allison and the rest of Roy’s family thru this time grief.
