IN MEMORY OF ROYCE

[WHT_MTNMAN]

In 2009 I moved to Payson to start work. I met a gentleman that was 40 years older than I was and we became close friends. I introduced him to a couple of my friends and over the years we have all kept in touch with Royce being the glue that kept us together. 

A month ago he fell in the shower and broke a couple of ribs, during his recovery and hospital stay is was determined he most likely had lung cancer and passed a couple of weeks ago, just shy of his 86 birthday. 

Thank you Royce for sharing your life with me and my children and dragging me out to glass for Coues and explore some of your favorite areas. God speed and I hope there is a Tripod and 15s set up in heaven just waiting for you.

May he RIP.  Wonderful story and pix.

In spite of the news and many of our experiences, there are a lot of good people in the world and many of them are on CWT.

Royce sounds like he was a great man and a better friend.

Good on him for making it to almost 86!  He won at life.

Thank you for sharing your memory and your lovely epitaph.
