The End of an Era


     It is with a tremendous sense of loss that we must report Roy’s passing from this life on August 12, 2019 at the age of 89. He left behind his hoe, his ranch, and a void in his family’s hearts too big to fill. Even after penning his story, I still wonder what it would take to produce a person of his character today. As the old saying goes, “He broke the mold.” His passing truly marks the end of an era.
      Please watch for the forthcoming sequel: “Sharecropper’s Legacy.” In this upcoming project, we hope to pay tribute to the impact Roy had on those whose lives he touched.

Roy is my dad's uncle. Since his passing it's been nice to hear more stories about what he did for others. Looking forward to hearing more in the next book!
