A character - Yes.
Knowledge - Massive.
Always helpful - if at times a bit prickly in its delivery - but that was Roy.
Will he be missed - Yes massively and by Many.
R.I.P Roy.

Seconded!!

Biggest loss this year, did David Bowie & Prince have "Secret Switches"?!!

Probably more of a chemical switch.

very sad news

R.I.P. Roy

Very sad news.

The club will be contacting Roy's family to both pass on condolences and to recognise Roy's incredible and prolific contribution to the messageboard over many years.

Very sad news, condolences to his family.

in what shape or form will the club recognise roy's contributions???

This is so sad...Roy's contribution to MMOC will be sadly missed.

Very, very sad to hear this, he was always a great help. Could Roy's signature be added to the front page of this site in memory??

That's really sad news, RIP and thanks for all the advice.

God bless, sorry to hear the tragic news. Sometimes objectionable, but always respectable. R.I.P.

Although not a member for very long and like others we never met,however I wrote to him on many occasions to ask for his trusted advice and he always gave me his view. Like many he will be sadly missed. Rest in peace Roy.

Wow. RIP Roy. Thanks for your help and advise over the last year and the parts you kindly gave me.

Never met you but you'll be missed.

The Morris fraternity will remember him I am sure in the manner he would have been proud off ,, his like we will never see again our condolences go out to his family and friends

Sadly missed, Roys comments were always very useful and informative, a proper engineer.
My heartfelt condolences to his family.

I believe for a start it would be fitting if a new rank was created for prolific posters that honours what a great and knowledgeable forum poster he was. Thank you for all the advice and help, rest in peace.

Rip Roy I was very fortunate to have known you and a lot wiser for it.

Although ,like many others ,I have never met him but always read his comments and helpful advises.
The forum loses a great friend!
My condolances goes to his family and friends.
Regards

Oh dear, that is sad news. The forum will never be quite the same again. He was very kind and helpful to me in a moment of mechanical crisis once.

We didn't always agree, but Roy was a key member of this and many other forums, and will be very sadly missed.

RIP and my very best wishes Roy

I've been off the board for a little while, so finding this thread has been a tremendous shock.
I never met Roy, but had very helpful responses to problems I had posted up in the past, including one about "it was the coil" on the way to my first National - turned out, in the end, that it wasn't - disturbing the wiring loom whilst fitting a replacement "fixed" the problem, only to return a couple of weeks later - loom problems now fixed.

R.I.P. Roy and thanks for all the advice - Deepest Sympathies to his family.

George.
