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"?!!
Further investigations uncovered it was an inside job!!
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.

in what shape or form will the club recognise roy's contributions???
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??
1954 Series 2: 4 door: "Sally" -- Back on the ground with (slave) wheels and waiting to be resprayed......
1970 Triumph Herald 1200: "Hetty" -- Driven back from Llangollen in Wales (twice.....)
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.
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

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.
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.

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.
