Roy Dunn was a joy to know. He enjoyed talking to people, and loved to visit with the high school volunteers at The Cottages. He enjoyed asking them about school, and sharing stories with them. He had a kind heart and a smile that could brighten the room. He is always in our hearts. Thank you so much for sharing him with us.
