I recall Uncle Royal as being a good man and very easy to warm up to. He well deserved the 90 years the Lord granted him on this earth. I know from experience more so in my younger days that Royal was always willing to help out someone in need. I'm sure that he is considered to be a very generous person by many that knew him, and he will be missed by all.Please accept our sincere condolences during this time of grief and mourning.
