My sincere condolences to Royce's family and friends, he will be missed.  I posted a picture of having dinner with Royce when he was in Kenai a few years ago.  I never thought that would be his last trip home and so grateful to have been able  to spend a little time with him.  Rest in peace Royce.

Royce you were a great friend and mentor. Thank-you for the support, advice and being a man to look up to in so many ways. You were one of those fellows that men like myself tried use as a guide to building ourselves into being better men. Rest in Peace
