A very good man who worked alone on the midnight shift in a small New England town. "Roy" was a veteran and a formidable presence on calls for mutual assistance. His funeral was a well attended and moving event. Roy worked as a cop in the later years of his life because, in the words of this who knew him, "He liked it."
