Roy 'Sunny' was one of my closest friends. He had a great sense of humor and dagger sharp intellect. We planned to travel to Europe after graduation and stay in youth hostels, but he didn't quite have the money saved. His Mom was a German war bride who escaped Bremen after it had been completely flattened by bombing. She almost always had a pot of soup slow cooking on the stove to add leftovers to. Nothing went to waste. He was very interested in history, and had a wonderful thoughtful soulmate named Debbie who went to North Texas State. He studied computer systems and specialized in designing data recovery systems for large corporations. He became a consultant and traveled extensively to speak to large audiences. Sadly, his life was cut short by AIDS.
