Roy loved to coach his daughter’s basketball and softball teams. He never missed a game they played.
He enjoyed visiting friends from one end of town to another. Everyone knew him and felt like family.
He had a fashion sense that could only be described as “Roy”. It included Hawaiian shirts unbuttoned with swim trunks and boots in the summer; sweat pants with flannel shirts in the winter.
Roy was preceded in death by his paternal and maternal grandparents, Roy Casey, Sr. and Modena and Hiram and Eunice Black.
If Roy could be remembered as anything it would be a man of God who loved his children and grandchildren.
