One of the funniest guys ever loved being on a layover with Royal and his Humor will be dearly missed this world needs more Royals. First time I heard his name I laughed then I met him and his name became secondary. Heaven is getting a great guy. My best to the Family.
ReplyDeleteRoyal was my Uncle. Besides my father, I can not think of another man who has had as much of an impact on my life as he had. That says a lot about a man who I only saw very infrequently. His service to this country help guide me as I became a sailor too. Recently my son and I had an opportunity to spend time with him and likewise he made a huge impact on my son too.
