**************************************************************
Roi took most of these pictures while riding around Charleston on his ten
speed bike. He had a special eye for the life around him.
I didn't realize there was a mistake in the pall bearers names....Andre'
Wood also served. |
SWEET PEA - Died earlier this year - Roi and Perry grew up together.
Our great friend Kent Knoff also died this past year and we miss him dearly.
Kent died as a result of "Agent Orange" during Vietnam

These are my notes when I got to speak about Roi at his funeral. It was a tough job, couldn't hardly read my own notes, but got most of it in. I brought a couple dozen roses which got passed out to the ladies in Roi's tradition. Some of the notes will make sense to those that knew and loved him. George

Date: 17 Jan 2003 CommentsFirst Kent, now Roi. Two of the most generous and entertaining souls I've ever known. This town seems a lot less colorful than when they were here. Long live the Captain and the Cowboy! CommentsRoi, @-}-} @}-}- @-}-} @}-}- I thought you would outlive us all. You always seemed eternal, even when you were a very young man. As if you'd seen it all, from the suffering darkness to the healing light. You were our guide, reminding us, by example, to look for the good in everyone, to take care of each other.xoxo Chozzie
