Soon after, Dad discovered his new passion of golf and they moved closer to the golf course in Sandy Hook. Dad and Mom enjoyed many winters in Weslaco, TX where the warm weather and love of golf continued. Dad's biggest joy was his family and friends, which was paramount in his life. Whether near or far they were always close in his heart. A celebration of life will be held on Wednesday, March 14, 2018 at 2:00 p.m. at the Mackenzie Funeral Chapel, Stonewall. The Rev.

Thanks Roy for your guidance when I was just a Cadet in Traffic. Your guidance helped me and other Cadets on our journey as adults and serving the community we were assigned to protect. I have many fond memories of bumping into you at my girlfriend's cottage in Ponemah and bumping into you and Walter Koley in Sandy Hook. I guess you can meet up again and tell a few stories. Thanks my friend. Let us take it from here. RIP - Posted by: Larry Bailey (Friend and Co-worker at WPD) on: Mar 13, 2018
