I almost missed this. I am very sad to hear that Roy has passed away. I visited him last over ten years ago. He showed me, in bitterly cold weather, his large plantings of alstroemerias; later that day he showed me in the warmth of his home the friendship I expected and found of the man. We planned some beer drinking when he came next to San Diego. That did not happen and never will but his plants are here, are blooming and growing well. Thank you, Roy! Andrew San Diego
