Roy and my dad were wonderful friends. My dad was a regular at the Hungry Lion. Roy always had my dad's coffee ready when he walked in and introduced him to many regulars. It was my dad's Cheers where everybody knew his name. Roy came to see my dad the day he passed away and they shared one last handshake as friends. Roy was a very special person and he will be missed by many.

Roy and I enjoyed many meals with Rie Wong. He had a great sense of humor and loved to laugh. I will miss him.
