ROY! sorry to hear about you leaving us! quite sure your in a better place, maybe I'll get to join you for thebig reunin in thesky!1 kenny e. GOD BEST...!
Mike and Gary, you are both right about Roy! He had a special quality about him made you just want to smile and feel good. I hope that he had a good life after we all left Woodward .Heartfelt condolences to his family and close friends.
Roy Roberts Years after high school I would ofen run into roy.
Talented big hearted but life for him in those days was tough. He felt unappreciated and I always tried to cheer him up. He was a special man. I was lucky to be a small part of Roy's life, long ago. Lucky Me!
I ran for Vice Presidernt of the junior class. I was really excited about my campaign - after all Sharon Graller was my campaign manager! I will never forget getting on the stage in front of what seemed like thousands of classmates, explaining why I should be elected. I was scared to death and my voice cracked and quivered through the entire speech. I believe Roy Roberts followed me on stage and I knew immediately it was all over. He brought the house down everyone loved him, That was the end of my WHS political career, but I never forgot the experience of speaking to a crowd. Roy was loved by all. He was talented and so funny.

Honestly. everyone . . . .
I'm really a little surptised that more of you folks didn't say word one about this man.
This man was SUPER tallented, and his immitation of the old-time "interloquetor" was as good as it gets: "O my, my, my, my, MY!"
Now I PERSONALLY came to assemblies -- well, of course because I had to, but SECONDLYY, for two reasons -- each valid in its own way:
1, to hear Chuck Drexilius sing (He WAS Glee Club) and
2, to hear Roy say those words, say, "Blast Off!" and play boogie-woogie.
I'll never forget you, Roy! You were as good as -- and BETTER than -- Ray Charles himself.
And I'll tell you this: even before I get whatever is due me in GAN EDAN, I'll want to hear you tickle those ivories!
"Go well / Stay well!"

I had the opportunity to work with Roy during the Summer of 1984. As a result of that time together, Roy and I became good friends.
Roy was one of the most multi-talented individuals that I have ever met. He was incredible.
However, the most amazing quality that he had was his fabulous personality that I still remember to this day.
Such incredible charisma.
What an absolute shame that his life was so short.The world is definitely not a better place with the loss of Roy.
I hope that he is R.I.P.and in a better place.
