I'll never forget him.......... ever.
One of my first gun deals in a free state was with Warren. He was so happy when we realized we were both Jewish. He made me feel a little more like I was at home, even though I was far from it. He's home now. G-d bless him and his family.

There is but one truth in the world and it is all yours. If you are not sure of it stay at home; but if you are sure don't look back and it will be your way.

Roy was always on top of the Jewish jokes, from the Hebrew Hammer to his Harley 'Jewcycle'....he would kill me those quips! That being said, you hit the nail on the proverbial head, he was good at making folks comfortable, even newfound friends in the gun world. |

Roy is going to be interred in Arlington National Cemetary this week. I'm sure that the other Patriots in residence there are going to welcome him with open arms.
It's still hard to believe he isn't here any longer. Damn. And I just traded for another rifle...I like to think I am carrying on his tradition of trading guns among friends! |

thanks for bringing this thread back.
I still haven't digested the fact that he is gone...

WOW - I had many meetings with Roy over the years, and as fellow firearms instructors - we frequently kept in touch about a number of things. I had absolutely no idea why he stopped responding to emails a while back .
Thank you for this forum, and thank you for this thread. I'm humbled to call Roy my friend, and am (belatedly) grieving his loss. RIP brother. |
