Another sad, sad day. Roy was truly a lovely man. Godbless Roy

I was 18 when Roy took over as RSM of the Battalion In Londonderry. He was the first Warrant Officer/SNCO I felt I could talk to without feeling that I was "not knowing my place". On the C.O.'s crew, there was no shouting and bawling because the CO was waiting, it was cool, calm, collected and get there ready to go. That sort of coolness was very comforting to a young man who felt that he was perhaps totally out of his depth. That coolness and approachability never left Roy and it was always a pleasure to talk to him if the occasion arose in the years that followed. He was one of a kind and will be missed by many not just a Royal Welchman but as a "family member". Our thoughts are with Rita and the family. Thank you Sir.
