I just found out the other night at Byrne's Pub on bluegrass night that Roy had passed away. I am so sorry to hear that we have lost such a wonderful person. I just wanted the family to know that Roy will be missed. His smile and generosity and positive outlook on life was inspiring. Even though he was 76 years old, he was the first one up and dancing at Byrne's on Friday Bluegrass nights. I am happy that he will be with his wife now, because I know he truly missed her and spoke very highly of her.
My financee is Mike Andes of the Nothin' Fancy Bluegrass Band in Virginia. He was one of their biggest fans and we will miss seeing him at festivals. He was a real sweetheart!
Rest in Peace Roy
Love,
Becky
