I was a close friend of Roy's back at PS 162 in Bayside. He and Louis Wang were my 'smart friends.' Although there was no way I could keep up with him intellectually (in fact, I was one of those poor contestants that Roy easily beat in the Current Events bee Louis mentioned), that was of no consequence to Roy.
Unfortunately, I lost touch with Roy when I moved out of town in junior high, but I never lost touch with the memory of the warmth and depth of his friendship.
I have frequently thought of tracking Roy down, because I just knew he would become a great man. His decency, compassion, sense of humor and intellect were already on display back then.
Unfortunately, it was only today, in preparation for a presentation I will be making at a CNI conference, that I learned of Roy's passing. Reading the testimonials all evening has been a bittersweet experience. Very, very sad, but so thrilled to see what a wonderful human being he turned out to be.
So, a little bit about the Roy I knew. He, Louis and I did a lot together, often at Roy's house after school, in large measure because he lived much closer to school than we did, but also because it was always a warm and comfortable place to be.
We'd play the standard board games (Monopoly, Careers, Life, etc), we'd go bowling (I don't recall that Roy was particularly adept at that particular activity!), we'd talk sports, and I even vividly recall that it was at Roy's house that I was shown my first Playboy magazine. But whatever it was we did, it was always easy and just plain fun. Simply put, Roy was someone you wanted to be around.
I now know that the boy I knew, was truly the father of the man so may others were lucky enough to know and love.

I did not see Roy on a daily or even a monthly basis. Like everyone else, we were preoccupied with our own daily chores and routines. So, over the past 2 months it's been easier for me to busy myself with work and to pretend that Roy's still here, busily tending to his many projects and responsibilities over at the Center and beyond.
Now that the semester's winding down and the season's first snow has arrived (at least here in northern Virginia), I'm might just be ready to stop and remember Roy instead of waiting to see him one more time--at one more faculty meeting, one more picnic, one more job candidate's dinner (coating a salad with salt).
I relied upon Roy's presence (and am now feeling his absence) in so many ways, both spoken and unspoken. He was the soul of our department.
During my first years on the job, Roy provided comfort and reassurance during moments of uncertainty and self-doubt. He was a much respected senior colleague, who listened like a trusted friend--a personal quality for which I will always be grateful and which I will never forget.
Thank you, Roy, for everything--your humor, intelligence, creativity, integrity, dedication, and, most of all, your compassion and kindness. Peace.
